Default RE: question about instructor

I had a problem with the right aileron on my Tiger 60 (second plane after my Nexstar Trainer). It was (still is.. ) an ARF. I did the bad thing of adding additional CA to the hinges after the CA had set. The aileron hinge came out. Fortunately, I caught it during a pre-flight after flying this plane for 20 - 30 flights. That halted my flying that day but I was able to fix it and fly again.

As I said, "STILL IS" because that plane is several years old and has over 100 flights. I recently sold it, and hopefully the person I sold it to will get as many flying hours as I did. And I hope he pre-flights it..
