The Header tank has to be full. That is how the plane flies. You should never run the header tank even low, so the plane will always have fuel in the header tank. So make sure that it is full. My battery is also up in the nose, and Dean is right, check it with the heavy prop on it as well.
P.S. If Mike isn't there, my plane wont be at the district champs either so he'd better be there
Also, be careful, don't want to turn this thread into a "black magic love fest"

Sorry, just couldn't resist..
