Forward facing clunk WILL pick up air in flight............. sitting still on the ground maybe not.
While test running on the ground for that three minute run, did you pick up the aircraft and point the nose to the sky? Try it I'll bet you get air in your UAT.
Good point. I thought the dymanics of flight would be different from just pointing the nose up. I experienced a flameout on takeoff just after I jit the retract switch. I had about 1/4 tank left. I wonder if the accel of take off and the all too short climb out got the fuel to rush towards the rear of the tank and thus exposing the forward located clunk?
