I didn't have 42 minutes to kill watching that slow-moving video, but
"our own" Doug Steen had a similar experience in his Dragonfly (I
believe it was) decades ago, unconscious, running out of fuel over
Florida, and crashing (horizontally, at least) into Florida somewhere.
I'll let him tell the story. He's now flying a Tailwind.
A few months ago, there was a presentation on CO detectors, by EAA or
Aircraft Spruce, I forget now, but the bottom line was that the TOCSIN 3
Cockpit Monitor was the detector to buy. I went online during the
presentation, and they were already sold out (I'm a slow thinker), but I
now have one and fly with it. The other day I was running the
kerosene-fired torpedo heater in the hangar, and wondered if I was in
danger of CO poisoning, so I turned it on. Zero ppm, so I'm safe there!
My point is, they are nice to have. The little yellow buttons you can
buy for a few bucks are all not entirely useless, but with some age,
they get that way. It's $169 well spent, in my book.
I'll see if I can dig up that video, which involves another exhaust
leak, undetected, and led to this video on best choices for CO detectors.
