We inspected the horiz stab x-thru and associated stiffeners on my '78 Tiger per
advisory bulletin CE-04-34 issued 12/11.  As luck would have it, all three stiffeners
are cracked - seems to be fatigue-related as opposed to damage, though
someone weighing down the tail for annual etc is a possibility...the sides
crack near the radius at the very top, the bottom strengthener (very thin) obviously
compresses with g-loading/turbulence-induced flexing of the stab, cracks
are at the attachment to the vertical strenghteners.  So far, we've removed
the vertical fin and the top bulkhead (where the ELT mounts), will remove the
horiz. stab next.  Have the parts and K125A coming from FletchAir.  Has anyone
dealt with this repair or have any suggestions making the repair - if so, did
you make any modifications (thicker stiffener, additional stiffener)?? 

Thanks, Jeff Ferraro

Yea, I've been looking there very carefully.   I still haven't seen any
cracks.
