Gets your attention over trees, rocks, or water, doesn't it?

Ayup.
Pretty religious about my reserves since then. I have two 30-gallon tanks. I switch tanks as soon as I reach cruise altitude -- usually about 20 min at full power, which I interpret as burning half an hour of fuel at 65% cruise. Then I switch each hour thereafter. In theory, this leaves me thirty minutes if I go dry. Seth "RST Engineering" wrote in message ... Gets your attention over trees, rocks, or water, doesn't it?
