Ok, my left speedbrake failed on test during taxi out a few weeks ago...it would kind of pop up a bit in rapid cycling...maybe less than an inch. Removed the speedbrake and shipped it off to Precise Flight Inc for repair. Basically they did a rebuild ($1 AMU) and sent it back. Now the fun part...couldn't get the "cannon plug" to fit back onto the female end in the airplane. Tried for an hour...called my wiz mechanic buddy...he tried and no luck. We did get the pins to align with the holes on the female side and even tested that the speedbrake worked...but it's far from seated properly. WTF...?? Called Precise Flight...said it's the same part they've always used. (It's a replacement motor and harness.) Doesn't fit at all with the female connector...took pics and sent it to them and now waiting for the main tech to get back on Wednesday. Anyone ever encountered an oddity like this?
