Craig and all,
That slight bowing of the bottom cover with the tilt bail tension has been
around since the first Field Test K2s (yes, the condition is present on my
SN 00020). Never fear, it will cause no problem, and yes it will straighten
out (almost) when attached to the RF board. No harm observed here since
1999.
If the tilt bail does not have sufficient tension it may not stay in
position - do not attempt to reduce the tension.
