Now then, is there something about your last flight you think you need to share with anybody?
hehe, I didn't notice that my post
sounded like an admission of guilt. I'd like to reassure you all that my last flight was OK (and the one before... etc), and I
always own up to my mistakes, especially if they can affect other people. Having said that, my grass airfield is rather bumpy, in some places, and striking the prop is always at the back of my mind.
It's just that this expression - shock-loading - seems to come up in every other accident report, but without much detail on what actually happens to the engine. Anyway, thanks for the links, they are spot on.
