Dad's are Cool!

My stepfather has built for 25 years and flew for the first 5. He gave me a plane last fall to start me off. Now he is out flying with me and his 10 year old grandson. We all had our planes out yesterday from 8:30 to 5:00. We burnt up about 3/4 of a gallon of glow fuel and now I am waiting for a call and off we go again.

As far as what happened with the fuel line. I don't run my engine dry. I use a 2 line setup to the fuel tank for filling and emtying. I fly at least once or twice a week so I don't feel it is necessary to run it dry. With the 2 line system I don't get anything in the fuel tank other than fuel. After emtying I use a small piece of brass fuel line and join the carb and exhaust lines together. Than if I stand it nose down fuel doesn't run out the carb.

Just me.
