I think it was something to do with the outriggers finally clicking into place
when airspeed dropped enough so that the "springs" (or whatever they are) were
able to overcome air resistance. I think "clonk" is the keyword to search for
here.

Hi All,
This is interesting. When I read this it brought to mind that I had read
something
like this before on the site. I did a search for "bump" or "thump" and could
not find it. But I can remember the mystery being solved and I don't think
it involved icing problems. Can anyone else recall this? Was it something about
the mass balance weight?
