  2. Re:D'oh on Fuel Loss May Cut Short GlobalFlyer's Journey · · Score: 0

    I also is quite possible (more like probable) that it would be unsafe to land the aircraft with a full load of fuel. So there is no such thing as a "short test flight" with a full load of fuel as you'd either have to circle around until you burnt a lot of it or dump it.

    while not "super conveinant" if you truely are a geek there are at least a couple of ways to do this...
