I have always been of the belief that sump plugs are magnetised so one is able to check for bits of engine floating around in the oil by looking for bits of metal on the plug when removed. How is this checked if a quick drain plug is used, since the oil will just disappear down the tube?

I like the Maule but it needs a stick. Every taildragger needs a stick and not a steering wheel.
