Plans: 1. Verify the calibration of the fuel tank gauge. Status: Complete. It has been some time since I worked on the fuel gauge and I wanted to be sure it is indicating as expected. In level flight the gauge indicates as follows. E = 3 gallons remaqining 1/3 ~ 6 Gallions remaining 2/3 ~ 8 gallons remaining F = 10 gallons remaining The Max tank capacity is just under 13 gallons.
The cruise burn rate is predicted to be 4.5 gallons/hour. So starting with a full tank of 12 gallons I can expect 2 hours flight with a 3 gallon margin.
