Noticed that they haven't picked up on how much fuel which was in the tanks if it did spin.

If you have anymore than above the middle of the X in the tanks the spin is shall we say extreme. I have never done one with 30 mins out of a tank and the other full but I have only once done one with a bit more than the X which I never repeated due to the level of excitement in fact after that I tried to keep spinning to an hour in the tanks and 30 min reserve.

If it did spin with full tanks I wouldn't be surprised if the engine did stop due to fuel either the float chamber or the weight of it being to much for the fuel pump.
