Thanks, Max. I think I did make one kinda major mistake today, but I will never know. There are two fuel tanks in the plane, and in this low wing plane, you feed of one tank or the other, but not both at the same time. I swear that on the pre-flight checklist, that it said at one point to put the fuel selector on the lowest tank. For take off, you want to be on the fullest tank. There is a slight possibility that I flew there and back on the low tank. Really bad if the engine sputters on take off, kinda bad if landing, and not bad if mid flight, as you can switch tanks and if the engine does die, there's a good chance to get it restarted before the rough field landing.
