birddog is an unknown quantity at this point
stainless steel or steel?

Does anyone know the history on when the factory went to stainless steel cables and have any of the accidents involved stainless steel cables? I understand later production aircraft were all manufactured using the stainless steal. I have heard one report that none of the flap failures involved the stainless steal equiped aircraft. This is a significant observation if true. The source did not give permission to use his name but it's a very reliable source in the 336/337 aircraft operations. OK I like cooberation. I think thats the right word.
