After such a big deal was made in the instructions about making the inspection door for the rudder post we decided to make inspection doors just like the one at the rudder post under the wing below the flap and aileron bell cranks. Cut it out, put nut plates in the corners and done! I don=99t know how you could feel safe without being able to check that out?

You need to be able to place an inspection mirror at the appropriate locations inside the wing to detect any cracks that could develop in glassed structural lay ups for bell crank mountings etc. If I finish a flight where I have encountered extreme turbulence, I am not just going to do simply a quick external inspection for cracks. The original Pulsar plans were deficient in my opinion regarding inspection openings in the wings. I included them before paint finish. To not include them is taking a short cut when it comes to safety.

Without interference froum outside sources the light would penetrate and not blind me. I never considered any inspection plates after that. In hard to reach places like behind the seat back or way back in the tail section I used my camera to take pictures so I didn't have to part of the Pulsar Olympics again. --- On Tue, 3/1/11, Esa Lehto wrote: From: Esa Lehto Subject: [Pulsar-Aviators] Pulsar XP wing inspection doors Hi, I am planning to repaint my Pulsar XP wings. I have inspected push rod links via the flap and aileron openings so for. I like to hear from you that does it make any sense to add inspection openings or not and keep the wings as they are at a moment? Other thing what I like to hear from you are the locations for the inspection doors. I have composite wings with fuel tanks.
