Well, after reading probably 100 posts in this thread over the past couple
of days, I've got a question to put to you all. What is the chance that
you run a tank dry and the switch to the other tank, only to discover that
you had a collision with a tree on takeoff and the other tank (along with
half the wing which contained it) was torn right off the airplane, and you
never noticed. Then you'd be in deep doo-doo, right?

What is this lunatic talking about, you ask? I'm talking about...

Yep. Just when you think you've seen EVERYTHING possible, a guy like this
takes to the air in a seemingly non-airworthy plane, and flies innocently
into infamy.
