Harley, you have touched on an interesting subject to me.

I personally have never had what you indicate happen, however, I have not only seen it happen to others, I have heard of many reports of this.

What ends up happening is you throw them away, when in fact, John Redman has been asking for at least a couple of years to have examples of this sent to Horizon to his attention so that Horizon can address it.

I flew a Euro at Desert Jet that had this happen. I was able to get it down in one piece, but when the problem was identified, I put new ones on, and the owner threw the old away, and when I was talking to Redman about it later, the trash had already been emptied in the dumpster (DOH!)

Please anyone who comes across this, send to Redman at Horizon. They have heard reports of this, but never seen it.
