Hey VF!
two questions...
what is your minimum amount of Gojuice you are flying (BH 06). Do you have a personal limit?? i hate seeing the backward pump flashing ...so that is my limit
Don´t you have trouble with your fuelpumps in high altitude flights. I had quite offen malfunctions when climbing over 10,000ft.....
greetings from bavaria
and always happy landings

Hey Bellrider

Fuel pump problems, no, not yet, & worked those little suckers up to 22,500' filming in the JetBox

Landed after some extremely high altitude, minumum power missions with 5usgals But normally above 10,000' ~ 8usgals & 9usgal operations around 5,000'

Happy Happy
