Fantome:

You were at Echuca for the AAAA event, immaculate Rapide and all! Did you talk to the lovely old gent who owned the B33 in the hangar there? He confessed that was the source of the Beech "throw over" yoke control cable AD - he was about to roll, taking two disabled kids and their helper for a flight, did his control check and thought the elevators "felt funny" so returned to the ramp. It was indeed "funny" - the elevator cable had parted company with the elevator!
