While I imagine the night wasn't too bad, if I had known soon enough I would
have made a phone call. I'm a Texican in California but have people in
Sherman. Be nice to haul you out to the ranch for some good food and rest.
Stuart and Nick;
As I sit here totally removed from any resulting misadventure of my
technical ruminations, I give them to you freely, without charge.
Suppose some part of the aileron was used to move a disc in a closed
cylinder... an aluminum disc perhaps and maybe an aluminum cylinder... Such
a device would not 'seal' well and the moving disc would encounter very
little resistance to reciprocating movement within the cylinder, if the
period of the reciprocation approximated that of the intended use of the
system. However perhaps an oscillation excited by the aircraft's airflow
would have a much shorter period. Perhaps one short enough that said
cylinder and piston machination would tend to dampen the movement of the
aileron. Maybe to call this an "idea" is generous- maybe it is the sporadic
bio-electric misfiring that pass for thoughts generated by the decaying
detritus of this old man's brain.

Wonder if R/C truck shocks would work if you took the spring off?
