Yup, I know this from experience... That is exactly how I tore the firewall and landing gear out of the Four Star on it's maiden a few weeks ago. Long story short, wind was about 10 as I came down on final, then, all of a sudden, wind gusts to about 30 (this was the weekend Rita's remnants blew into Southern OK) and got me pretty out of shape. I went to throttle up, and she quit. I was too low and too slow to do anything about it at that point. After having nothing but problems with keeping the muffler halves tight on my .46, I put a thin bead of high temp RTV between the halves of the .61 muffler, then put locktite on the nuts of the long screw that holds it all together. It's been rock solid ever since. I think I may still be a tad rich on the idle needle, and that is why the transition is not up to par yet, but the thing is SO sensitive to even small changes in the idle needle setting, it's been a real battle to get it this close!
