Question: If you fly your plane out of trim (let's just say that you hold the ball one full ball diameter left or right of center for an hour or so) I think we all have seen unequal fuel feeding from the left or right tank. Is it possible to suffer fuel exhaustion if this condition continues...

Jan. 17 - Santa Fe Jerry Sr. or Jr.: What plans if any are there to support the Vantage Engine in light of Superior's bankruptcy ? How many Citabria/Vantage combos are out there ? What engine are you going to now put in the High Country ? I've enjoyed 260 hours on my Vantage, and its been...
