Hey, I am just showing you guys that your
really don’t need to waste fuel when you have the airfield made –
just shut it down and glide on in. Fortunately no seized engines –
in fact, my incidents always involved a long drawn out affair where I spend long/short
heart thumping minutes trying to figure out the problem. If it would just
up and quit then the torment of thinking you might get the problem solved
before the engine quit wouldn’t be so stressful {:>)

Another clue is that if it were abnormal friction it would have either
seized up or freed up by now.
