I have about 400 hours on my Pulsar 1 and have noticed a small bit of play in the most outboard location hinge pins. Not a huge amount of wear, but enough upon inspection.

Mine delaminated from the Stabilizer years ago and I had to clean and rebond. I actually used JB weld when I re-bonded the hinge and have now flown for over 15 years trouble free.

This one can be fixed. Somewhere i read that the average airliner is struck by lightning every 10,000 hours.

It's on auto-pilot and you're catching up on People magazine and having a cup of coffee.. Suddenly the loudest sound you will ever hear goes off just behind your left ear. You're blinded by the flash and can't hear. All you can feel is something warm running down your leg. You immediately consider retirement.
