Seems like everyone should report their findings to Van's good or bad so that their stats are realistic. Just send them to "support@vansaircraft". Included my N number and Serial number.

I would like Van's to publish bet ter info on this issue and report under what conditions these problems seem to manifest themselves. -GV -----Original Message----- From: Miller John Sent: Tue, Feb 25, 2014 5:34 pm Subject: RV-List: Re: RV8-List: Re: Van's SBs --> RV-List message posted by: Miller John Any idea how many planes with cracks have been found to date? grumpy On Feb 24, 2014, at 9:16 PM, Matt Dralle wrote: > > > Just inspected my circa 1994 RV-6 for both the stab spar and elevator spa r cracks per the respective SB's and found nothing questionable.
