N40RC - Richard Collins reminisces...

All this occurred during my "formative years", and I vaguely recall Collins' trials and tribulations at the time.

 

Plus, I did have numerous flights in a P210, but was lucky enough not to have encountered the same issues he had. I still have the POH in my hangar, 30+ years later!

 

Anyway, I think the linked article is worth a read, if only from a historical perspective. And it can help put our relatively minor issues in perspective as well.

Good read Eddie.

Good article.  That P210 makes our little planes seem cheap and maintenance free!
