All hangar talk, but wondering why the thick one has a washer that would prevent a badly staked bearing coming out, while the thin one has no such protection? Or is the big washer just something someone put on there themselves in light of this story...

I asked the manager how receptive they would be to hosting a fly-in at OCF and he was very eager to accommodate us. OCF has a very large ramp, 2 runways, is located near many restaurants and hotels, has lots of uninhabited areas to the west for practice areas and is in central Florida which is convenient to many of us, and finally it's warm. I mentioned Oct, Nov, or Dec timeframe. He said he would give us a great fuel discount, and currently OCF is $.12 cheaper than AYS. The manager also offered us the conference rooms, and the FBO has an onsite restaurant for breakfast and lunch. It's a very nice FBO, next to the FBO there is an electronics shop and a large maintenance shop which could hangar and repair our planes if required. The field is towered but there is very little traffic, and the manager asked if we would be willing to do fly by's and such, since they've been wanting to have some sort of event there for the public. He said he would arrange cooperation with the tower for special "Events". He stated that he would like to create a long term relationship with us to do this on a regular basis. The manager knows us well, he's been fueling us at S&F for years. I'd like to get a show of hands of who would be interested in coming down and what month/week would be best for you. Formation flying is definitely on the agenda and more than likely we'll have IP's and CP's on hand since they're all local, but this is mostly for FUN!!! I'd like to get at least 15 planes, so let me know.

Unlike Western design and certification standards the Chinese have not incorporated individual aileron static balance requirements. This is actually not a problem in normal situations where the entire system has been assembled correctly as each aileron is counter balanced by it's opposite. The lack of a single cotter pin, etc. in the aileron system could by a terminal matter. An unrestrained fully disconnected aileron could flutter violently enough to remove the aileron, or the wing, in seconds.
