Thats only because that paticular version of damage and wear on the baron is a bit unrealistic with engine behaviour,if you have the throttle above 80% for a longer time it will burn one or both of your engines. Grin

Yeah, I try to fix stuff when I can, and if it's within my mechanical ability.

Since my 'day job' consists mostly repairing bicycles, I like to think I have a little
mechanical aptitude.

And, contrary to what Joe Patroni said, repairing bicycles is an honorable profession.

Hey Viper, it is a good calling, the Wright Brothers didn't do too badly out of it Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Totally off topic, but, I just want to mention that I replaced the brake pads, rotors and calipers on my chevy van this week. I am not a mechanic and I didn't use a book to help. Now I need to get a bumper sticker that says "I do my own brake jobs so don't cut me off" Wink

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

Like I said... some may side with Mr. Patroni.
