Congrats Lee. We want to hear that YHAA on your next flight. I guess you do not need that pre-inspection check list any longer. Mark Jones (N886MJ) Wales, WI Visit my KR-2S CorvAIRCRAFT Site at: http://mywebpage.netscape.com/n886mj -Original Message- From: krnet-boun

KR> Fuel gauge mystery

Do you have a header tank? If so, the only time you get a true reading is in absolute level flight and then only if the top of your sight gauge is level to or above the top level of the fuel tank. If you are sitting on the ground, your header tank will be above your sight gauge due to the nose

Mark, Truly a feeling of pride when you pulled up to the airport with your plane. Can't wait for your first flight. I bet when you returmed home to an empty garage, you felt very strange not having it there. It is kind of like when you realize a child has left home and moved on. Mark Jones (N88
