I've fixed two of the later AG5Bs with stiff controls.=0A=0AApparently, som
e genius in Martinsburg decided on changing the grease used in the controls
. -This grease congeals and the controls become so stiff the plane become
s unsafe to fly. -=0A=0AI'm sure it was just another improvement like the
electrical system.=0A=0A----- Forwarded Message -----=0AFrom: Bert Gilling

letin 194=0A=0A=0AHi Gary,=0AYou have probably seen this post, copied below
, on the Gang. I recall that in 2005 when flying my Tiger during the pre-bu
y, Fred Kokaska experienced so much stiffness in the yoke that he thought t
he autopilot servo was not disconnecting. A local autopilot shop thought th
e same (!) until Fred and Warren Eding discovered that the chain and possib
ly other related parts, had never been lubricated by the factory and were c
orroded. Fred lubricated the chain and the controls moved freely. Since the
n, you and I have addressed this issue and, I believe, lubricated part or a
ll of the assembly. I will appreciate your recommendation after reading SB-
