I'm running a vented tank with an OS 1.20 SC.  It's the
first vented setup I've had, and I've made some mistakes
with it.

My solution to the inverted problem was to run the
vent line from the top of the tank (when looking at
it upright) to the bottom of the fuselage.

When the plane is upside down, the vent line is then
too high to drain the tank.

I suppose in knife-edge, if there was little draw
on the tank, some gas might get into the vent line.
But as a pattern worm, I don't spend a lot of time
at low throttle in knife-edge.

I hope the same plumbing will work with the MVVS
I've got.
