Default RE: inverted engine issue

The problem here is that when a 2-stroke engine is inverted, the head becomes a bucket and can load up with fuel that has no where to go, so, like a bucket, the fuel just sits there - it can't escape.

The easiest way to remedy this is to flip the plane inverted or sideways when fueling and starting.
