That was close.
I'm sure he filled his undies!

Hehe....that poor `fer probably ate his underpants half-way up, and chowed a hole in the seat. Damn, that was just a tad too damn close for comfort! Underpowered or marginally powered aeroplanes, dont you just hate `em.

Actually mine was from New Fuel hose flaking and blocking in the pipe.
After I replaced all the fuel hoses with the tough type that is not soft and Black - Problem solved.
