Angier:
In re-reading my post, I see that I sounded
critical of Don, which was not my intent. While I did meet Don briefly
when he was here flying my friend's plane, he and I did not discuss the
airplane. Don flew the plane for about six hours over two days. I've
been flying it ever since (about 10 hours). I asked my friend whether Don
mentioned the friction and he said no. It was while my friend and I were
tracking down the friction issue that I noticed the free-play in the
aileron train. We had not done anything to the control system that would
have created the free-play at that point. I did not notice it while
flying. The fuel leak may not have been evident or even existent when Don
was flying. I didn't notice it myself until after 10 hours of
flying!
Sorry Don! I didn't mean to cast asparagus, I
mean aspersions on your fine reputation!
