    Ya gotta tighten the bottom jam nut a little more to keep the Baker wing in position. Not too much and not too little.

    Yes sir. I carry 2 small wrenches in my cubby, just for that purpose. Only takes a second to re adjust.

    I did that but it still closed the port side one is fine. What I did notice is the wing itself is not square against the holding screw, it is angled so my guess is the collision with the bird either bent the unit itself or the mirror housing, from the larger crack that was created, make a difference in airflow direction as to shut the wing

    Yes sir, came home Tuesday. Wouldn't you know I didn't get rained on the whole trip, it rained at night. The last day, Tuesday, coming home from Clearfield, PA I was deluged with downpour. I considered it lucky. Anyway, thanks for mentioning MyRadar because I downloaded it and I is a very useful tool. I am posting the videos on YouTube on my channel taxfree4 if anyone is interested. I'm uploading Monument Valley as we speak. BTW, the side cover I lost came today and is installed. I'm going to miss the garbage pail/Paracord fix
