RV-6A. 1796 hrs
Built 2001
Grass since 2008, very little aerobatics since 2008
SB complied with, no cracks found.

But I have a lot of rivet rash on my arms trying to get the iPhone in to get a decent photo!

Finally inspected mine. Cracks in both wings. More obvious in the right than the left, on which it's extremely subtle. I heard somebody mention a "scratch" but that sounds like possible denial. I want to deny mine, trust me...

Dan...how many hours on your bird? (I'm guessing a lot!):) Sorry about the cracks...

dan 07-10-2016 06:45 AM

2150ish. I suspect the cracks have been there for years.

Condolences - that sucks. Thanks for sharing the photos. Good eye catching that one on the left.

(sorry if this has already been mentioned, didn't want to go through the 30 pages of replies to look for it)

I received my quickbuild wings recently and was happy to find that this SB had already been complied with by Van's:



(on the downside, deburring and riveting that one hole just above the bracket will be annoying)
