Hey,
Sitting here in Miami, a long way from anything that resembles Alaska. I have been hashing out some cub stuff with others in the same situation and....
Someone said that the "rule" is always run the right tank out or low first and then use the left tank for takeoffs and landings when you get down to min fuel ops. They were told that because of the location of the right header tank behind the baggage area it will have problems feeding at high deck angles.
My normal deal is (when I start with full tanks) run out of the left tank for 15-20 minutes just to bring it down out of the filler neck and then swap to the right tank until it is gone or low and then switch back over to the left tank until it I am done. It sort of covers the above mentioned header tank situation.
What do the rest of you do? Has anyone heard of the feed problem with the right tank when you have low fuel/high deck angles?
Thanks
Scott
