last one i promise,

Should the clunk in the header tank fold back on itself when in a nose down attitude?

The tube that came with my QuickUK header doesn't allow it to so wont it starve of fuel when looping or nose down attitude?

I just dont wanna smash the bird coz of my own stupidity lol

Thanks in advance guys

The header tank should never be anything but full.
Go loop and fly unconcerned.
What ever you do you should put learning/perfecting Autos high on the list of your priorities.

If the tube folds back on itself too much it might close-off. Set it up so that the tube simply moves from the bottom to the top of the tank easily. As aussie said, the tank should remain full or close to full for the entire flight anyway.
