With either a self launcher or turbo if you have waited
until you were low to start the engine you have made at least two bad mistakes. At 13:54 31 May 2004, Mark Navarre wrote: Uhhh ... that would appear to be a non sequitur. A 'turbo' is a power improvement over a standard glider ... it's a big step down in power (and price) from a standard engine. Kind of like how Chevy used to call the lowest trim level on their truck line the 'Custom Deluxe' so it didn't sound like the bare bones plain jane that it was. The 'Turbo' nickname gives a warm fuzzy to those who didn't step all the way up to a self-launcher. The whole concept is ironic: You are already low, and now you have to DIVE to get your engine to start and hopefully get you home. Sure wish I had a self-launcher (self-starter)! - Mark Navarre 2/5 black ace LoCal, USA remove brain to reply - |
