Either the last year of the Land of Enchantment RV Fly-In at Las Cruces or the first year at Santa Teresa (I forget which one), departure morning was marked by the somewhat humorous sight of folks gathering around about a half-dozen tail-draggers, lifting their tails as high in the air as possible, and draining water out of the planes' snouts. Heavy, blowing rains the night before had entered the cowling and somehow prevented injected engines from starting the next morning. I haven't flown an injected engne and, with Junior's injected engine now on-site, I'd like to better understand what happened that night/day, whether Junior's engine might be prone to a similar incident, and, if so, what we can do to prevent it happening (i.e., will cowling plugs stop it?). Look foreward to being educated!
