I'd heard that there was a real difference in the glide ratio of a plane
with a wind-milling prop as opposed to one with a stopped prop, and thought
I'd test it to find what the story was for my KR...because I figured it'd be
good to know some day. So one calm morning I climbed to 10,000' and not
After blowing up an engine at night 20 years ago, I was a real Nervous Nelly in
that particular plane at night from there on, but made myself do it anyway,
sweaty palms and all. It didn't seem to bother me in any other plane. I have
always flown with emergency landing sites in the back of my m
I think a good scare is in order every once in a while. I have never flown
the same after I had my engine quite because of a factory caused mag failure
on my VW. Had it quit one other time doing a high speed flyby and pulling to
45 degrees and then banking 90 (uncovered the fuel supply hole). That

I'll always remember what my instructor said to me when I became a bit
stressed after the engine actually died when he cut the throttle at 300 ft
during takeoff on a flight test. He said "come on, you've flown out of here

Guys,
All the conversation is great on the subject and everyone is a benefactor of
it. The only thing beyond the knowledge is the ability to process it at the
right time and the fastest possible way. I have one very real engine out on

I think that I have done and checked every thing that I can
imagine and all the stuff that you guys thought up. I ran for another
