Default Problems Solved

Well after I got the plane down to the shop I started trying to find out what was causing the fuel problems. I checked the fuel level and it was good. Tried richening the carb a little. Pulled the fuel line off the carb and I noticed that I was getting fuel every once in a while but not a very constant flow so I decided to pull the tank. Once I got the tank out I pulled the tank plug and noticed that the fuel line pick up had come off and the engine was only getting fuel when the fuel was above the brass in the tank. Well I hope to get it up again this weekend and put a few flights in on it and really ring it out. Wish me luck as I do it all over again.
