In a previous article, said:
4)Took off in 172 to finish my IPC tonight and at 700 feet just off
the end of the runway the engine lost power for the longest 5 seconds
of my life. Returned to the field did a hard runup all normal.

Did you put on the carb heat?

Clubs vary in the quality of maintenance, but my feeling is that a 25 year
old plane with 5000 hours on it is going to have maintenance problems
whether you are paying the whole shot or just a share. And in a club, if
plane "A" is down for maintenance, you can switch to plane "B", which you
can't do if you own only one plane.

Nah, but Dave the Resurrector will just bring 'em back again.
