Copy that, haven't ran one dry yet, but I have seen it and it's never at a good time.

My 3W 75 is the same way, sips the fuel. I have a 40oz thank for it, timer at 17min and land with just about 1/2 tank.

Getting very close to a maiden on the Extra, kinda put it aside for the MM26/DA85.
They came 4 days apart, took the MM26 over to Al Smith's hanger and four of us pulled a gangbang on it, knocked it out quick.
will try and talk Al into another gangbang on the Extra and get it going, I have a 3W 150 on it, if she is a sipper to I will go with a smaller tank and save the wgt.
I have the CF wing tube, changed the wheels, machined the back plate on the spinner, dumped all the servo arms and links for titanium, two 8711 on rudder instead of three, no match box or power box, plastic hatch screws top and bottom,no choke servo.

More excited about how light I can get her than the maiden (lol)
Can't remember if Al said you are coming up in Aug, If you are I would gladly turn her over to you for a thrashing and opinion

Take care

Dave
