Rad alt,
Some of the Dashes I flew had in excess of 30,000 hours total time. The power levers felt no different to those of a new one. You still needed to pull the triggers up a good 15+mm to release theflight idle gate. You only had to Lift one trigger a couple of mm to get the warning horn to sound.

Clarrie, I never experienced it eitherin all those years. But then again, Qantaslink never had a single stick shaker event on the Dash (from memory) until 2008.

Now it appears to be a regular occurrence
