Graham,
I think we will never know the full story on Williams aircraft.
New larger pins, clamp mods, TP6 'crutches'. There has been a considerable
amount of static generated in the last few years, all centred around the
pitch control system. I like your idea. But let us not stop there, at the
same time we should be upgrading the TP9 and TP12s. The system around the
tailplane torque tube needs a testosterone injection.
regards,
Mike
