That's what a lot of us were thinking anyway. I find that one teaspoon of MMO in the morning keeps me regular. Based on that, I can only assume that it isn't a "clogging agent" as has been asserted. Steel-on steel?? It's always amazing that we aren't all smoking holes in the ground whenever someone uncovers such a serious design flaw in BHP's design. Now all our control systems will have to be disassembled and upgraded prior to B'head. Next, we should consider LG pivots, bell-crank bearings, control hinges, etc. It's too much to worry about, I'm burning mine before something seizes up in flight. I have noticed a trend for some on the list to usurp some of my duties as TOP CURMUDGEON. Stop it!! I may have to give up my title soon anyway as my wife has me on new medication so the veins in my neck don't explode when I read the Matronics digest each morning. (So far it ain't working too well.)
