That's gotta be one of the coolest fixes, and story/posts for that matter, that I've ever heard. Wow.One of the super high tech solutions we came up with on the AIM 9 was to fix the premature ejaculation of the rollerons (pictured below).
The rolleron would be locked into the rear wing until the missile reached roughly Mach 1 (the speed of sound), at which point they would release and swing freely. The missile flew at mach 1.4 plus the speed of the launching aircraft. The fins on the wheel would catch air and spin at incredible speeds creating a gyroscopic effect to help stabilize the intricate maneuvers being output from the guidance system. As the planes got faster the pilots were complaining about aircraft stabilization problems due to the rollerons releasing prior to launch. Kinda like me!
After months of study, and debriefing pilots, here is the highly technical, highly classified fix we came up with, don't tell anyone!(no longer classified)
We drilled a hole in the body of the four rollerons and inserted a screw in each. We ran a string between each set of two opposing rollerons (crossing at the rear of the missile) and secured it to the screws at a specific tension. The string would keep the rollerons in place until the rocket motor ignited, burning the string and allowing the rollerons to release. Problem solved!

Just think, if they would have been around in the 40s during the Atlantic theater we could just say we Jerry-rigged them!

I'm kind of a big deal
Here is a video I took from the roof at my work on May 6th 2020. Thought you guys might enjoy it. Boeing is across the street from us, so it was a point on the flyover route.

I debriefed a couple Blue Angel pilots when I was in the service and I talked to one of their crew chiefs. I was stunned when he showed me pictures of how those guys bump into each other occasionally.

I'm afraid if I was in charge of firearm inventory, I would end up in the brig!Army Unit Supply Specialists (MOS 92Y) perform and supervise tasks related to the general upkeep of the base.
