Sorry to hear about your engine trouble,but congrats on no damage
Good luck tomorrow[8D]
I had very good luck today wow. Engine trouble again, this time the carb hold down screw got vibrated loose and throttle went to full and stayed there [X(][X(]. Not at all good when it has to much power for level flight. Anyway i had to fly around for about 6 min with the engine screaming away at 16K+ and having to hear my tail surfaces fluttering every so often (really bad). When the engine finally quit i brought it in and the flutter had partially broken the stab on both sides, the rudder was also broken!!! [:-] Amazingly it also bent one of the aileron pushrods. No damage other than the tail surfaces, but i will seal up those hinge gaps when i fix it. I'm very lucky that the plane didn't disenigrate in the air.
On a positive note, the plane flew very well before that trouble began.
Hope you guys are doing better than me with your new CAP's.
