Mike, would you mind expanding on that please, this is not a loaded
question, I would just like to know.
Thank you

Thanks John
So I am assuming the problem only occurs due to incorrect assembly and
not during operation after a correct assembly.

Maybe some one might enlighten all on the Benalla incident/accident a few
years ago,when a Hornet was involved in a crossed control take off and

Yes, nothing wrong with it after assembly except it may be working backwards.
However the one I saw in NZ obviously
That would be correct,

GFA now has an AD (AD460) which requires that these drive gimbal

Trouble is that the Japanese authorities are reluctant to allow old gliders
to fly. Mr Honda is very sick with a terminal problem. Ken Ueyama is helping

Yeah and Hornet ailerons can be installed upside down on the wrong wings as

Be vigilant out there.

You are right John, but I was talking about a story in soaring magazine,
(the USA one) some years ago and the story of an incident with the cables
crossed twice. Same result. Usually with anything like this the mistake is
noticed close to the ground and whilst the gliders are usually damaged
You can be -in- a major city and not have broadband either... :-(

Sorry for the updates on the QLD Easter comp but for those looking for motel
