James, you mentioned D-Dog had props that always seemed to run in coarse pitch. The aircraft would have been flight tested regularly after remedial work so perhaps have a few varied things go wrong with it when the guys fly her. Little things like the Elsan falling off its mount etc that just make an op in Dog even more unpleasant. She could be flying perfectly for once until some corkscrewing loosens the Elsan!
