I have just put a 46FX in my H9 Funtana and it flies great. Now I need to know how you guys hook up your fuel lines so you can get the fuel out. I have 3 lines going to my tank. 1 filler, 1 to carb and 1 to exhaust. My motor is concealled in the cowl so I cant get to the carb line to empty the tank when I am done flying. How do you do it? My filler line cannot be used to get the fuel out because the line doesnt go to the bottom of the tank.

I've never used the third line on any of my planes. On cowled planes, or RNV engines where it's just a downright pain to get to the carb line, I leave it alone. I'll put an inline filter in the pressure line just before the firewall, with enough fuel line to access it behind the engine, or above the cowl. This makes a great place for fueling and defueling by disconnecting the pressure line at the filter.
