Don't muck around with it Russ , 7 years is not too bad, and you don't want problems, particularly on your trip out West . I got 7 years out of mine before it started being unreliable . I charged it a few times but you need a more sophisticated charger than mine, consequently the charge didn't last. I finally bit the bullet and ordered a new one which will probably see me out .....

I think they would be indemnified by their employer ( the taxpayer ) against professional negligence or whatever . But I do think Oscar's idea of a public execution would be in order .... Bob

Maybe not the Queensland Police Service . but the ATSB will be all over it ..... Bob

Camel , having regard to what now must be a very significant amount due to lost sales ,together with much damage to the brand name , I would be extremely surprised , and disappointed , if Jabiru haven't already briefed their legal team in anticipation .

The only springs are those on the elevator trim system that merely assist, or bias the operation making the stick forces lighter. The upper cable in the picture , connected to the elevator control horn , is directly from the control stick , and the lower cable part of the trim system ..... Bob

What springs are you referring to Tommy ...... Bob
