Thanks, John.

I wasn't surprised that it wasn't covered, just asked with the suggestion of someone in aviation. A bit surprised it failed catastrophically though...

About 1700 SMOH, overhauled many years ago. A couple of new cylinders about 500 hours ago.

Logical, but I'll just rent for a while, I can't stop flying.

My thinking as well... Or I could have set it down in an artichoke field and they would have paid for the disassembly and removal (the adjuster said THAT would have been covered).

Thanks, it was an eerie experience, seeing the prop finally stop windmilling on final. I have been more frightened (bad lee-mountain turb and persistent carb ice at 10K, not good to have reduced power way up there). I was more PO'd, realizing my airplane was toast.

Just that it wasn't because of any external cause (foreign object or bird-strike), installed accessory failure, etc. The engine was also essentially at TBO as well.

Thank you. It really hammered home the value of power-off approaches by my instructor. She'd pull the power and ask "can you make it?" I enjoyed these type of landings (when given permission at towered airports).

I hightailed it to the nearest airport and as I set up for downwind there was a total loss of power. I...

And exactly which Civic model are you referring to? Remember, said Civic must go from 0-60 in under 6 seconds, get the same energy-economy and have all the technological features of the 3. Oh, and with the tax credit, the cost ain't $15K more with a loaded Civic. It ain't $15K more without the...

Effin' ridiculous...

This could be a good opportunity for a bunch of us (Sac, MAK, Sam, Palm, etc.) to meet with Ed for lunch at either HAF or O69 and then let him loose, on his way north along the coast.

Macadamias, specifically Mauna Loa Kona Coffee Glazed.

I squinted and guessed correctly.:thumbsup:
