Default Damaged aircraft - should I pay?

Great. Do that in a Maule, and you'll never have full tanks (the vents will dump
about 5 gallons out of each if you top it off). If you have a tiedown with a bit
of a slope (I did at Old Bridge), you'll fuel up before flying. And you'll leave
an inch of air in the top of the tank. If you park on a slope with full tanks,
the uphill tank will cause the other to overflow and it'll be half full the next
time you want to fly.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
