Attaboy Vic
Watched the Vic Syracuse RV Maintenance Tips on the EAA Webinar site last night. A very informative, well illustrated, concise - and sometimes scary - presentation of potential RV maintenance "gotchas". I came away with a written-down list of things to check on preflight and during condition inspections, along with a much better understanding of potential damage that can be caused by seemingly minor issues.
His real-life examples of inexplicable neglect do make one question whether some of us RV fliers have hidden death wishes.

It was a very valuable webinar. I've got Base Leg Aviation bookmarked now, and although I already have a DAR, it's tempting to pay a little extra to have Vic do a "Pre-Fly Inspection".

Are these available after the fact for EAA members? Sound like something I want to watch.

Very informative. Vic did a great job. He sure had some scary looking pictures.
Thinking maybe I need one of those T shirts.

Glad you all enjoyed it, and yes the whole idea is to get you to go look at your airplane or your buddy's airplane.

Very informative seminar Vic! And the issues he identified on the RVs have universal application to all aircraft.
I had Vic perform my DAR inspection in April of this year and he found a potential safety of flight issue that I had overlooked. Easily corrected but could have been a real issue on the first flight.
Highly recommend Vic and the DAR services he provides.
