I've been back at c/l flying from the 60"s for only a short time (about two years) and am trying to catch up on what's what.
It seems that ST nva's are favored by many. My question is: "What is the reason for this preference?" I'm not "doubting" anything. Just would like to know the particulars.
As a casual observation, it seems that the 90* bend on the end of the ST needle is more likely to cause someone to turn their knuckle(s) into the backside of a spinning prop. Seems safer to "twist" a knurled cap than to "turn" the "L" bend on the needle.
Thanks,
Joe
