And on it goes.......


Mr. Gladwin,

You were not at the Heart of Ohio Jet Rally last weekend. I put 44 flights on my P-160 powered Bobcat at the event. This pushes the total number of flights on this airframe up close to 500 flights total on the airframe. I think that I can safely comment about the airframe based on MY experience, I would also bet that I am pushing my airplane as hard if not harder than most. It has been flown to the extremes many times over. Bottom line is the stock servo setup for the elevators has performed flawlessly for each and every one of those flights. You can engineer, cypher, calulate and scratch your @$$ all you like but you lack the real world expereince with the Bobcat. If you want to change the elevator servos in your Bobcat change the damn things but don't keep insinuating, and claiming that there is a flaw in the design when you DON't have the real world experience to support it.

BTW of two Bobcats that I KNOW had elevator problems, both of them were rigged incorrectly, I helped a buddy last weekend change his rigging to the correct one. Give it a rest!
