Default RE: New Hanger 9 p-51 mustang **Trainer?!?**

Today I had three flights and experienced my first problem with the PTS. It was actually my fault, but it is something to look out for anyway. On my last landing, the plane was sputtering and this was wierd because it had been running so good. Upon landing and inspecting the cowl, I noticed the pieces that hold the carb in were in the bottm of the cowl with the screw. I have not checked this area for about 15 flights so if you have not checked these bolts, do so. If they are loose the carb will move a little and the throttle cut won't work because the extra air. Other then that three more good flights. It is also a very easy fix, took about 20 mins or so and we were flight ready again.
