I recall on one of those early flights, up around 8000 MSL and just in a tight circle around a turning point with one wing up in the sky and the other pointed at my turning point - the engine dies. Say WHAT? Hastily pulling the wings level, the roar of the engine thankfully returned - when one wing tank is low on fuel one should probably not make continuous turns with feeding from the down wing tank. Switch tanks and went home to change underwear. Point is - its easy to get so enthralled by your creation as to forget some basics {:>) Whenever its time to leave the nest, you'll know. Don't leave until you feel comfortable doing so.
