  1. Awesome, thanks! That's helpful.
  2. I cycled them on the ground, everything sounded normal. They feel solid to me, there isn't any play in the system or other obvious signs of structural damage. I know there is a decent amount of over-engineered safety built into these systems and I normally wouldn't be concerned about a few knots. But I was pushing 135+ knots by the time I realized my mistake.
  3. So it was a busy day at the airport, it was bumpy and I was exhausted. I'm on a long final, but there were two planes ahead of me so I slow down, deploy flaps and landing gear to slow down so I don't overtake the Cherokees and Cessnas in the pattern. Tower asks me to speed it up so I retract the gear and apply more power. A minute later I realize that I had forgotten to retract the flaps and that I've pretty significantly oversped them. How worried do I need to be that I've damaged something? I didn't see any visible damage to the flaps, but I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for. Thanks guys!
