This will keep the fuel that is left close to the CG on the landing. I will have about 1.25 gal for each engine that will give me a good 6 mins. of flight with plenty of go around fuel for a landing.
Thanks, Joe.
I've been wondering what to do, I'm leaning on the side of going with three tanks and 2 UATs. Plumbing both UATs to the one center tank. Is there a reason not to do this? It seems it would be the best option as either motor would be able to use that center tank as a supply. I was thinking of adding two high-flow clunks to the main tank.
Also, in the case of a flame out, I would not have 1/2 my fuel supply stranded.
LMK.
