Came right out while the pilot was cycling the prop before takeoff. It was a vernier cable, and the pilots flying that plane had a habit of screwing it in before landing, rather than pushing it in. They'd screw it all the way in and then some, kinking the cable. On the AA-1 series, the recurring AD can be eliminated by replacing the cable with a vernier control. Oh, well ... ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:46:30 AM PST US Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Re: here's a new one From: FLYaDIVE David: Screwing the cable in, or Pushing the cable in makes no difference. If anything, pushing it in would put more flexing force than screwing it in. The 'CABLE' does not turn when being screwed in, it is only shaft portion right behind the the knob that turns; Full In is Full In. No matter how it is achieved. There is also a 'slippage' to the screwing action, so you could twist all day long without ever increasing any force on the cable. Why did the cable break? Only the cable knows for sure.
