Friday got my friend a Airline Transport SEL Land, flew a T-34 and then on Saturday went out to do a litte recreational flying and experienced three engine failures.
Luckily got it partially back running each time and made it to the runway without landing out.

My God , I know the crisis hits everybody hard but setting your mixture so lean to save a couple of bucks really is cutting it close, no, what are you, Scottish ???................. went out to do a litte recreational flying and experienced three engine failures.

Anyway, never forget, every airplane is basically a glider, some of them have an engine attached .
PS; just out of curiosity, what plane was (I guess the same T-34 as saturday)it and what was the real problem?

Here's a tip or two:
A.) Get a better mechanic.
or depending on the circumstances
B.)Use a checklist next time.

Sounds to me like someone tried to get out of the basement of outer space and got behind the power curve.
