Default RE: Extreme Flight 87" Yak 54 - Build & Fly

ORIGINAL: dick Hanson

Engines are like automobiles.
The opinions given, many times have nothing to do with actual experience.
All engines are definately NOT the same and performance is often linked to experience and familiarity with engines in general.
I have run very few modern gassers which are actually bad engines .
Most (99%) problems are owner /user induced.

AMEN!
Well said Dick.

Lots of Internet blabble that has no real merit.
Lots of first time gas users.

And since when does a deadstick automatically result in a crash?
Unless your hovering I dont see why a deadstick is going to kill your plane in most cases. Sure there will be the times when a deadstick in the wrong spot will result in a broken plane but to say that a deadstick = a crash is ludicrous.
