renault Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 There's a reason why we have two ears and one mouth. Practice using them and you just might come up with something actually worth saying. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) Mistakes are how we learn - here's a personal classic. First takeoff in my newly acquired Piper Pacer - keep in mind this was a 1950 model and back then Pipers' weren't known for extras. Anyway, power on, steering straight, pressures/temps and rpms great. Climbing out - pretty decent pitch for 80 mph and then the big mag drop - 2500 to idle - no gas. Past experience with Pipers so the fuel selector was to hand instantly. Roared back to life and on we went. Once my heart rate dropped below 100, a more detailed scan of the panel revealed a little 'Dymo' tape placard stating 'No takeoff on the right tank below 1/4 full'. Seemed a bit restrictive 'til I found the right tank was only plumbed to feed gas from the front so, when when the deck angle was up, all the gas ran to the rear which had no fuel line - anything to save a buck. Didn't take long to find a more deluxe tank that had gas lines front and rear but from that day on I never truly trusted the right tank for takeoff.

It reminds me of one of Les Dawson's jokes(I think it was him) He was pulled over on the M1 by the cops and they came to his car and asked him if he realised his wife had fallen out of the car 10 miles down the motorway. He replied, "thank goodness for that, I thought I had gone deaf." An oldie but a goodie. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
