Betcha you could understand non-linear math
by figuring out the source of flutter in control
surfaces, and then why a mass counter balance
is needed even for a 152.
"Flap flutter." Well, it might be news to you that flaps don't
have mass balances. They're not subject to flutter.
What? "You've never seen flap flutter". You missed the infamous
"Cherokee Dance" created by flap flutter when the ol' Johnson bar was
coupled to a pilot with a case of nerves who kept missing the catch?
Wellll...It is more of a low frequency oscillation rather than
flutter.

Johnson bar fun is when you have a sweaty hand one day in one of the
early Cessna 150's and you thumb the release catch after a short field
takeoff and it slips out of your fingers. The resulting BANG when it
hits the floorboard as the flaps come up in a nano second can give the
guy next to you a heart attack!

LOL!

Just yesterday we were in the 172E (last 172 model with the bar).

"I think this only has 30 degrees... wait.. hang on... UUUMMPPHHH --
there you go! Just don't go around!'

Came down like an elevator...

I actually liked the bar really. One thing for sure. You always knew
where the flaps were :-))
