Sorry for delay once more, things all a bit hectic as always!
No failures here! What was the cause of the Hydraulic failure of which you refer, and Where can I find out more about it.
I have flown a Raven with the hydraulics off, and you are absolutly right, it is JUST ABOUT managable, but is a lot worse than the pre-hydraulic Astro!
Like I say, I think time is the only teller here!!!
SOME DAYS YOU ARE THE PIGEON AND SOME DAYS YOU ARE THE STATUE!!
