Hi Smokey,
Interested to hear your experiences, I hope to be flying in about a week so I have
all this to look forward to.
What type of gap elevator gap seal did you have on, just tape along the hinge line?
And, does anyone care to speculate on why gap seals would promote flutter
(or whatever it was that was going on)?
Buzz, in relation to your comment about some rod end fittings developing free play,
as I'm sure others have noticed, some of them come out of the packet with
free play built in. Is there any good data on the allowable free play in the
control circuits, especially the ailerons?

know soon. When I experienced the flutter like symptoms it was not possible to
hold the elevator from moving up and down, it ceased as soon as I slowed a few
knots and It only lasted a couple of seconds as I was increasing speed slowly
at the time.
