Hi Dave,

Good to hear form you, I think you might be thinking backward, the closer the spacing of handle lines, the less sensitive (less throw) on bellcrank.

That's why I'm as my signature motto states. Laughing

"Toujours au danger" (Alway in danger) Yep that's me. lol!

BTW, the above was the motto of Jimmy Dolittle's 25th Bomber Squadron who flew from the arcraft carrier Hornet in early 1942 for a retailiatory attack against Tokyo following Pearl Harbor.

Not all of the brave who flew the mission came out of it alive.

From my reading about the Doolittle Raid, "Not all of the brave who flew the mission came out of it alive" should read "Not many.............."

Jimmy D. and the raiders practiced here in Columbia out of Fort Jackson. The remaining raiders show up for memorial day and other occasions.

The Doolittle Raid was the first tactical use of bombers lauched from an aircraft carrier.

They flew two engined B-25 Mitchell bombers named for the famous Billy Mitchell who first demonstrated that a surrendered German WWI battleship could be sunk by a bomb dropped from an aircraft in 1925.

The story of Mitchell's Court Marshall is an interesting read.
