US 40 fueling
I'm just starting to fly my new H9 UltraStick 40 and have realized it is a bear to fuel. It comes with a three line tank but I've only used two because I couldn't find a viable solution to not spilling fuel when reattaching the fuel line to the carb intake and the muffler. For those of you that have the US40, how do you have your fuel lines setup?

I don't see how it can be complicated at all. It's a pretty standard tank, and it's set for a standard two-line usage. Run the vent line to the muffler pressure nipple, and the clunk line to the carb. Everything is exposed, and it's as basic as it can be.

Fuel line set-up
With the OS 46FX there isn't enough room to easily remove the fuel line from the carb intake. With the engine mounted sideways the intake is vertical, pointed downward. If I used needle nose pliers it would be easy but I'm afraid of cutting the fuel tubing. Maybe my fingers are too big!
