Thanks Mike.
I think the clunk is closer ot the end than that but I'll check before next flight.

I'm getting pretty good at deadsticks and to be honest I have probably landed more of them than under idle. lol.

As for the taste of fuel, well the initial taste is pretty bad but hte after taste that creeps in is terrible. The number of times I've gone flying without a drink and I have to endure that taste for an hour. I'd rather have a pair of sweaty socks in my mouth.
