Started out from CPN4 Hanover this AM, in the Skylane. I was heading for North Bay to visit an old [longterm] girl friend. All was well until about 10 minutes out of Hanover when I started to go rough and RPM dropped off to 21,---just plain lost power. No amount of coaxing would help things.  So, we did a 180 and headed back home. Engine was really rough on approach to RWY 01 , usually 19 is used when all other things are equal,but the guy on duty at the shack gave me 01 as I wanted to just get down.   Anyway, here we are, Plugs fouled ??--she ran up just fine, climbout, I had full steady RPM.   I'm not sure what's up. I guess the old Galfriend will have to wait for another day     I see ZTY is being tugged over to the maintenance hanger already-- I better see if my bank manager is in a good humour.

Water in the gas?

Is that carbureted or injected?

Just for a giggle, turn the carb heat on.

I started to turn the damage of when flying the A2A planes. I got tired of it. I know engines. I´ve had a few and renovated some. The A2A simulation of engine damage is to cartoonish for me. Besides that, great planes.

Well, we got the Skylane back on the line this morning, and she ran up just fine.    Mech, said I had a Mag and Injector problem. judging from the bill I would guess he had a retirement problem that my Sky-- cured.       Anyway we roared off into an iffy forecast, the first little while was so so VFR then it cleared and was good vis all the way to North bay.     Tied down at the local club, we'll get inside later in the day as its likely i'll be staying over nght.

   I don't know Friz,, be darned if I can find that Carb heat control.

Ho, ho, ho, y'all are very funny.     If it happens again, try hitting the "H" key, (carb heat/engine anti-ice) and see if that helps.
