Default Losing power on header tank?
My last three flights (raptor 50) I have noticed that as soon as the main tank
is empty and the header tank is just starting to go down I lose power,
What's up with that?

I cleaned the fuel filter before my flight today but that didnt change a
thing...

Thanks
Darren

It's sounds like it is leaning out and getting hot. Did you try to richen it up a couple of clicks on the needle?

Why are you flying on the header tank, the header tank is only a bubble trap, you should be landing BEFORE your main runs out
