REFLECTOR: Scott steering dampener XLFG

[Brian Michalk]

I had a pallet of stupid, more than a case.

I got too slow on final because of bad usability design with engine knobs.

I plopped it down really hard, and slightly bent a main landing gear 
bolt, and delaminated its bushing.  It's one tough airplane.
