Piperboy.....interesting and thanks.......only last year I was talking to a 3 axis micro C42/Jabiru??? As he was following the North Solway coast towards Northern Ireland....as dusk was approaching and he neared the coast just about to cross the North Channel he indicated to me that his fuel guage showed empty!!!...........I asked him if he wished to declare an emergancy?.....no was the reply as the aircraft was just out of overhaul and he believed the guage was faulty.........I suggested that as night was nearly upon us and a water crossing was about to be commenced would it not be prudent to land At Castle Kennedy only 5 miles away to actually check fuel remaining in the tank?.........no said he I am convinced its the guage!........OK then I say if you dont think its an issue why did you tell me.........his answer "Well you know what they say a problem shared is a problem halfed!!!"

So yes please pop on the frequency any time you please in an attempt to half your problems...
