What caused the control jam ?
Briefly. Dual pole installed with too long a bolt, rubbing against vacuum hose, finally wore through hose and bolt plunked inside pipe just after take off. Grabbed it real good I tells ya
Was able to jink around on rudder and trim so lined up and came back and landed at Omkalai. Orli pax was fascinated
I didnt have time to stick me head up under the panel and find out what was wrong
I had asked the ginger beer to take it out before I left.

Thank goodness for folks like sixties relic capturing a lot of stuff on film
Imagine if video had of been available then!
