Wow, what a mixed bag of results and recommendations.

I'm not sure I want to go with flexible tubing as that seems like it will pinch the line or the clunk will get stuck. I think I'm going to add a little more fuel line and try to get the idle downline into the 12-15 second range. I figure that if I'm above idle the fuel is going to go to the back, and I shouldn't need more than 12-15 seconds since that is a pretty long time to fall.

I'll report back if I have any more issues with this.

Thanks,
schu

Ok so you can go with the guys that know or thoses who are just hangin in the wind.
Clunk lines shouldn't bend.
Fuel tends to go to the back of the tank during a vertical free fall.
If one did a 10, never mind 15 second vertical decent during an aerobatic compitition you'll be needin' you second plane to finish.
Enjoy.
