Kolb Friends - I'm not trying to be a List Monitor or anything here, but ... we gotta try harder to follow Matt's request to cut down on the extraneous text when we post messages. On this recent topic (angle of attack monitors), I was scrolling thru several posts, each with PAGES AND PAGES of unnecessary back-chatter when the actual message consisted of only a few lines of text. Please try to keep your posts confined to YOUR words, and keep only enough of the previous topic message to give reference to your post. Also, try to remember to type "Do Not Archive" for stuff that does not need to be kept forever in the archives. Just trying to be helpful, before we get yelled at by Matt!

There is no audio this time and the camera mount needed to be pointed down more so that we aren't looking at the bottom of the wing. I wanted to get some video of water. Lake Michigan is 400 miles long, mostly 100 miles wide, almost 900 ft deep, fresh water, no salt and no sharks. The lake froze over last winter and is only just now warming to the low 70s on the surface. Living along the lake we haven't seen much over 75 degrees this summer and never when the wind is north or west. My home is a red three story on the left as I fly back to the lake shore from the sand dunes.

Hard problem to find cause when it locked up I was MUCH mo re interested in my stick than the other one, also it only locked up when in a desending left turn.

It has been quite a few years and I honestly don 't remember in was right or left turn that was difficult. I know I shared yo ur concern about something breaking and asked to get back on the ground. >> >> After investigating all the obvious stuff like wing incidence, aileron de flection, and angle, etc. Took a look at the tail. Found the tail wires to be pretty loose. Because of the folding design of the tail, any flex in the horizontal stabilizers will bind hinges and lock the stick. Partially fold the tail and try to move the stick to see what I'm talking about. On the gr ound, there are no forces on the tail and stick movement is normal. At flyi ng speed, the lift forces can cause the tell to flex and bind the hinges. >> >> Bruce told me tightening the wires improved things. Can't attest to that personally, never flew with him again.
