[net.aviation] C172 problem

From: Hon Wah Chin <HWC at S1-A>
At a safety seminar at OAK on election night, the FAA rep mentioned a
problem with certain Cessna 172's and suggested we pass the info on.
He implied that it was already or about to be an AD.

Apparently, after a full stall the control yoke on some of these would
bind and not be able to be pushed forward.  The fix involved a mounting
plate for the control.  I don't fly 172's so I have not checked on it but
it was suggested that people check with their mechanics.
