| Subject: | First Condition Inspection |
Sorry everyone, I did not mean to start a primer war over a log book
entry. I do appreciate everyone's feedback though. It seems the Operating
Limits is the best course of action on this one.
The inspection went well, took a bit longer than I anticipated.
Unfortunately, SB 16-03-28 jumped up and bit me. I have cracking in my
rear wing spar at the hinge attach point. Of course it had to happen a
month after I got out of the paint shop. *sigh*
See the crack here:

I am surprised it happened after only a year of flying, I guess to many
Lomcovaks and Crazy Ivans. JK.
If you haven't done this SB, I definitely encourage you to get it done. If
it can happen after only a year of flying, I imagine that most of the older
fleet might definitely start to have these stress cracks.
Has anyone else had to do this repair yet? This one looks like a real
pain, not looking forward to it.

Make sure you report the cracks to Van=99s.
It would be nice if they can keep track of how common this becomes. If it a
ffects a larger and larger portion of the fleet it may be something that wou
ld be better addressing as a preventative step, but as far as I know, they s
till recommend not doing the fix unless you have cracks. Your 1 year story k
ind of has my curiosity up and if we hear this more, I may just want to take
the step and fix it now before I have the issue. Especially on the RV14 tha
t does aerobatics.
Thanks for posting.

I have inspected dozens of RV=99s and have never found a crack there.

Good eye! I've looked at this on a couple different planes. No signs
yet. I was pretty sure it wasn't going to be an RV-10 thing.
What did you use to see it? Just a light and mirror, camera, endoscope on
your phone? Nice picture too. Thanks for the post.
