WHY, if the R22, and others, can have reliable gauges and also a low fuel warning light, can't other aircraft?
Guess you've more faith in Frank's choice of equipment than a lot of Robbo pilots, Whirly...

I know of one very experienced R22 instructor who ran out of fuel with fuel shown on the gauge and no waring light... his mistake was not to dip the fuel...
