I'm trying to decipher this.....

I believe it's similar to politicians dealing with the debt level...basically, if there isn't sufficient time or resources for the prescribed period, just revise the prescribed period...again, and again(?) Hopefully this will, indeed, help with the backlogs and delays.

Yeah, not directly applicable to "Frog's" problem, but likely an attempt to help alleviate his situation.

Interesting side story: a few years back my registration came up for renewal. I paid my $2.00 or whatever it is and received a new certificate, which put in the plane. Recently, I received notification that it was again time to renew. I thought it had been less than the three year period, but went ahead and paid for and received a new certificate. When I went to the airport to put it in the plane I noticed both certificates, the new and the "old" have the same expiration date...

No wonder they are having trouble keeping up... Should I ask for a refund?

That's so terrible it's kind of funny

Does anyone have a picture of all the cables running to the back of the airplane it will be much appreciated. While taxiing around they rattle around like crazy, is this normal?

Here ya go.

Maybe check your rudder return springs? Just a guess. They are under the cockpit tunnel, see the parts manual figure 20-9.

Mine look the same as yours, the second bulkhead in your first pic looks like it has a pad, or extra strip on it. Is it rubber or aluminum?

And thanks for the pics and advice on the springs

Originals were a sort of phenolic compound.

Really enjoying flying the 140
