Hi everyone.
I read a recent post on lazair groups were Chappy mentioned a brocken F9 he experienced some time ago. I checked the one on mine with a magnifying glass and it looks ok considering the age. Then i went thru my spares box for a new F9.
it did not need to be viewed with magnification it has a visible score line running right across it just above the bend. It looks like it has been caused by the fingers of the folder. Good chance that it would fail if it had been fitted. This fitting will have to be rebuilt before use.
regards Ozzie
