I,ll take a stab at it!
If its a uniflo tank, the overflow tube (bottom ) must be plugged after filling.
If its a regular tank,the bottom ,overflow, does not have to be plugged for flying.
However, I reccommend it.
If its a uniflow and you do not plug the overflow it becomes a regular tank.
That ought to do for now.
Oh ! try it both ways and see ! I,ll bet you will see a difference and will fly with it plugged from now on (provided your fill vent is hooked(facing the wind).
