Tests conducted on A-4E seat motors at a weapoms depot were conducted. 7
out of 10 didn't burn completely, I grounded all the 'E' models, much to the chargrine of FitFud(Curt Schantz). Is there ever any "come back" on the manufacturer in situations like this? I can appreciate that no ejections would "come with a guarantee" due to the large number of variables involved - but you don't normally think of the seat failing to fire properly as one of those variables. PS: Good post - it's always great to be able to enjoy the benefit of experiance instead of just opinion in matters like this. CC |
