Yup. Mine sank on me once over Wausau, Wisconsin, during a cross country. It would have been a lot worse pucker factor except I was right over Wausau airport.
The drop was sudden and I had a hard time believing in it since the engine was running so well and it had been full up just moments before. After a half hour of circling the airport at 7k+ feet, I went on to Appleton and dried out the cork as you suggest. The cork lasted a little while longer but it was time to replace it, for sure. -- Ed Burkhead Peoria, Ill.
