It calls for inspection of the horizontal stabilizer front spar before further flight. This is definitely a safety issue so don't blow it off. I haven't done the inspection yet and I really hope I don't have cracks as the repair appears to be a nasty job. To view the bulletin, go to the following: http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/service-rv6.htm. The bulletin goes on to say that this inspection should be done during each annual until the repair is accomplished. It seems they are telling us that sooner or later cracks will show up. This applies to 6's, 7's and 8's both tri-gear and tailwheel. It would be interesting to know how many folks find cracks and at what numbers of hours. It also would be interesting to see if the repair work is as bad as it sounds in the SB. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv6-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV6-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv6-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv6-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
