What a great video to see what happens with fuel reaching the klunk.
With a new model, ("easy flying") my UAT is always full after the flight.
When I get to know the model and do more trics, there is always more air inside the UAT after flight.
This video shows shows why this is.

I've watched that video in the past, but I could never find it afterwards.

What I did notice this time around, is the tank never seemed to run low... either that engine sips fuel, or it's a dummy tank.

Doesn't really matter whether using a UAT or some sort of a hopper tank to minimize the risk of getting an air bubble in your fuel feed line to the engine.
