I bought a 2010 Eagle, G-KLAW, last Tuesday and it's fantastic. One thing it doesn't have is a fuel dip stick.
I guess I need to drain the tanks but I'm at about 80 litres and don't have enough cans. I want to go tomorrow with an instructor for some Aeros and he wants to do weight and balance but I can't measure fuel. Is there any measurements I could use on a distick or should I fully drain the fuel and add it back in to calibrate? Any thoughts welcome. Thanks.
