Two flights at the field today without any significant problems. Engine stumbled a couple of times that caused a pucker but I think it was just too rich.

2 complaints. The switch is too hard to reach and I have all these pretty lights on my electronics that are completly invisible with the canopy in place.

>>Header tanks are for what????????????????<<

A little extra fuel.
Not the hassle of a fuel magnet.
No chance of the clunk sucking air.
And for the spectators to say, "What's that little tank for?"
And they look cool.

That’s just a SolidWorks trick so I can measure the balls easily from center to center.
