…..if you could use a smile. Once a year, towards the end of the school year, my local elementary school has the ‘graduating’ 4th graders walk down a sidewalk, to be ‘ambushed’ by their parents with water squirters and balloons. Here’s part of this year’s ‘run’. I happened to be out on my morning walk and saw 5 gallon buckets roughly every block for a half mile. I knew what day it was! What a treat.

Inverted Fuel Pickup …RV8Squaz PIREP
FWIW, on my right tank with the standard fuel pickup, unusable fuel is 4 ounces. On the left take with the inverted pick up, unusable fuel is 13 ounces.

In flight planning. I use a conservative 1 gallon of unusable fuel on each side.

When someone posts a classified listing, and a reply comes back with something to the effect of ‘This is overpriced’, I’m leaning toward adding a new VAF posting rule to have that reply deleted by myself or a mod. One ‘pro’ to leaving it is it generates more conversation about the listing, so...
