One of the Swiss easy aircraft suffered it on take off from GVA and on landing at LTN I think. Apparently Captain said it was so bad that he thought he'd lost an engine.
Boeing got involved in t/shooting straight away and advised removal of:
main rudder pcu
stby rudder pcu
yaw damper coupler
all for evaluation test purposes. When advised by the easyTech engineers that the MM also said to change the Rudder PRV, Boeing held up hands and said 'whoops forgot about that!'

It's about time Boeing fixed this rudder problem. It's been on-going for several years.
Is the 737 becoming a not so nice pile of junk to fly in?
Probably not as ONLY 2807 deaths have occured!
Are the next generation any better?
