When topped off, the Sling 2, will only display 16 gallons a side, not 19 gallons. This is due to the dihedral and placement of the gauge/ sensor in the tank.kaputt16 wrote:Appreciate all of the responses. For reference the aircraft is a Sling2.
I will reach out to the school management here soon with the G3X guide and see what they say!
Of all the aircraft I’ve owned or flown, my Sling is the hardest in determining remaining fuel in the tank. Full is full and if when you open the cap, you observe fuel awash the bottom, you should have 10 gallons left in the tank. In between that is anyone’s guess.
Although not being as helpful to a renter vs an owner, Garmin’s last G3X data release, added a fuel calibrate function. No longer does one have to go to Configuration mode to calibrate the gauge. For me, its been a work in progress. It’s suppose to help one fine tune your fuel flow use. To date, after several fills, I appear to show 1 to 3 gallons off, in that, I have more fuel in the tanks, than what I show as used. I’m hoping it stabilizes with the next fill up or two.
