Carenado 206 fuel question

[deadkennedy]

Evening everybody, just bought the boxed version of the Carenado 206 stationair. Great plane, but I have a question.

How do you select the use of both fuel tanks at the same time? There is a switch for left, off and right but not both. I don't like to have to switch it back and forth to keep the fuel level even in both tanks.

Yes, I checked the manual, without luck though. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but as it is the payware section ...

Thanks, Frank

You posted in the right section....and that's all I can tell you...I need to re-install all my Carenado birds and when I do, I shall get back to you  ;)

I don't think it's possible to select both tanks at the same time. I had the same question when I bought this aircraft, but ended up just switching tanks when one wing got a bit heavier than the other  ;) Unless anybody knows different...
I would be surprised if this is true with the real C206.

hey there

the lever in question is the cross feed right?

well if you have it selected to one side or the other it means its only coming out of that tank, but if you have no cross feed then i think its coming out of both.

but im not a master, i just leave the cross feed in the middle and th airxraft never seems to make any noticeable adjutments

cheers
