1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Pretty cool fix, although I really thought they would have fixed it entirely instead of patching it up. Imagine if something worse had happened on the way back, it would have been the end of sales...  ;)
