Stick shake

One of our members has been battling a pretty bad stick shake problem for ages and finally had the problem fixed by having the hub bar twisted to provide a greater angle of incidence on the rotor blades. The improvement is unbelievable.

That's a significant difference. Who did Paul go to to get the hub bar twisted?

Always carry a flask of whiskey in case of snakebite......and furthermore, always carry a small snake!

Kevin Traeger did the work and is also the agent for AK rotor blades, very clever man.
