I checked my tail brace cables this morning and they were definitely not "fiddle string" tight, but they are now. It does not appear they were ever adjusted since there was paint covering the bolts/nuts. I'll fly it to see if it's fixed before making another change. One adjustment at a time so I know what to watch for in the future and I can report back to this List. I may need to fly it several times since the flutter doesn't occur often. I braced the elevator and there is no play in my elevator control cables, but they are not what I would call tight. I think I'll try adding an elevator trim tab next if tightening the tail wires doesn't solve the problem. If that doesn't help either, then I will add some tension to the elevator cables.

It has been showing low oil pressure. It was fine until I changed the oil, then immediately after the change the oil pressure light began flashing on my EIS. I could keep the pressure up at cruise speed, as I believed that it was a faulty sender. My last flight was "the Long Draw Fire" and I had to cut it short because I was having problems keeping the pressure high enough even at cruise. I parked it and ordered a new sender, enduring a long and extremely tedious hassle with Fed X in trying to get them to deliver the part. I finally got the sender tonight and it appears that the problem is not solved at all. I used a new filter, In fact two of them. One was a Napa Gold, and then a Carquest, hoping that it was just the filter. The oil is full synthetic 5W 40 as required. I have trouble with coincidences, and this one seems a bit strange. I am not sure that I have really flown it at the heats that we are enduring. I doubt that the temps have much to do with it as well. I am open to any suggestions at all.

There was an article on one of the other flying site some time back about the ones made over seas=2C they did not m eet the standards stamped on the bolts and was not holding up and breaking. Aircraft Spruce=2C Lockwood or Leaf would be your best bet as you never kn ow what your getting at local suppliers.
