Just noted the revised SB on Van's page - answers the question as to whether or not the SB should be done preventatively ... In short the answer is no.
My rv-7 is pre nspection.
I will do the hs SB
Do i understand that i don't have to do the evator sb even if i still have access to the back. ( only one side of the skin is riveted to allow pre covered inspection in canada.
I gave the Mothership a call to discuss this "should I/shouldn't I" issue. Tech support firmly recommended I not apply the elevator SB unless I find a crack in the future: The odds of cracks ever appearing are just that low.
However, since I'm still in the build process, they said it is wise to go ahead and apply the SB kit to my stabilizer...just get 'er done. That's my new plan.
