Title: Bent PA Needle
Post by: Leester on September 13, 2006, 05:46:06 PM

Several weeks ago I had an incident, the ground was to close to my plane. The only damage was a bent needle. Can this be straightened and still be good, or it it toast. Thanks  Also could this damage the valve assembly? ??? ???

Throw it out and get a new one. It will never needle right again.
