Thanks to all, great aircraft. There is one issue which will prove a problem on long flights. It seems that no matter what fuel tank you select, fuel is always drawn from the right main as well as the selected tank. With no fuel transfer facility it could prove problematic.

They used to use the auxilliary tanks first.

Then swap between the mains to keep the aircraft balanced.

The right engine fuel tank selector is by default on right main.
You are switching both, I suppose?
