Ed,
I hadn't considered the pucker factor, but that's a good point.  When I do
finally fly, I'll stay within gliding distance of the airport for awhile,
though with a problem like that, cutting the engine off, and gliding in,
isn't very high on my list of things to do.  Not to mention having to
fumigate the plane afterwards.

Steve

That's the right attitude, Steve.  I always say that ANYTHING! that wants to
break while I am on the ground is just fine with me and fortunately (thus
far) they have seen fit to do just that.  Sure reduces the pucker factor.
