Kingsley,

True, With Mod 34 (the extension of the vent tube to the front of the 
tank) now standard, I still find the tail dragger forward tank section 
has a large air bubble on normal refuel without coaxing, whereas the 
trigear will tend to fill completely. It is not much gas, a half to one 
gallon, but you can never have enough gas, unless you are on fire.

lifting involved.

  Bud,

  Just pointing out that this problem was address by Mod 34  dated 3 
October 1996.

  Cheers
