So some will run without coolant for some time. Probably better to stay at
a real high throttle setting once you know you're engines screwed. Run long
enough in that state the rotor bearings will fail next. One failed will not stop
the engine unless you close the throttle.
I doubt that there will be much power left to help, but a couple of feet
may be enough.
Thanks muchly
Lynn. Leon had a very similar tale (replying from an different account
that isn't on the list).
Hey Ken, was your
engine still running? Sounds like it was. Since we know that losing
oil will seize the engine in short order, and since it sounds like losing water
won't immediately take you out of action, I'd say losing oil is worse.
Again, I don't care about the engine, just getting to a good
landing.
Thanks,
Rusty (wondering
what failure Ken hasn't had)
