231BB Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 Good point on meteorites. It's like stalactites vs stalagmites, I can never get them straight. I should have remembered the Gloster Meteor, that sounds sexier than the Gloster Meteorite. Quote
Vref Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 Quote: 231BB The fuel selector on my K model got pretty hot one morning in mid winter flying into Truckee airport near Lake Tahoe. I had the heater full on; it was very cold at altitude. As I was about to change fuel tanks, the lever came off. The set screw was just a little loose, and the heat caused sufficient expansion of the lever's collar to allow it to slip on the fuel valve shaft. So there you go, it can cause problems. And BTW, one night over the Sierras a meteorite narrowly (< 100 ft) missed my right wing. Granted, this would not have been as bad as an asteroid. M20/KCCR Quote
jetdriven Posted December 6, 2011 Report Posted December 6, 2011 I think I would notice the selector not moving into the detent. Its not just about moving the selector handle. Quote
