I guess its true that the engine instruments will likely not prevent a forced landing if any problem develops with the engine AFTER you have left the ground. Rarely can you rely on "nursing it back to the runway on one cylinder". The cynic could say at least the engine instruments may give a a clue as to why you are now having a forced landing. :-( I cant believe the people and friends who report their new bird flys pretty good but temps are off and the engine turns either 7000 or 5600 rpm at takeoff. Flys good though! -------------- Daniel Grunloh (grunloh@uiuc.edu) http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~grunloh |
