Hi guys,
How much fuel is remaining in your tank when the dipstick bottom is only just wet? I'm trying to figure out without draining the tanks.

If the wing had no dihedral the answer would be "none". Since it has a very low dihedral angle, the answer probably is "not enough to matter".

Somewhere on this site is a graduated in inches dipstick device to measure the amount of fuel in your tanks. With a few gallons (3-4) in the tank, it's possible to unport the fuel outlet if you're in a prolonged bank or other attitude.
