I suspect they only count the time actually spent doing the work, not the time required to gain access or put it back together. I'm about 38 hours into a "16 hour" fix that's maybe 65% done for another SB.

Greg, the affected model serial numbers are incorrect.

The wording of this SB seems to leave me in conflict with the KAI.

I have an RV-12 classic that has recently flown for the first time. It is unpainted, doesn’t has the optional stabilator tips and no weight has been removed from the four lead weights per the instructions at that time.

Since this was built the updated plans (11iS/U-02, step 8) now call for pre-trimming the two outboard lead weights and optional balancing after painting (11iS/U-11).

SB-00067 in step calls for balancing after installing the straps.

Not having painted yet, the wording of the SB leaves me conflict in the KAI.

I assuming that I should increase the length of the pre-trimming of the two lead weights to account for the weight of the straps that are being added and delay the balancing until after painting.

Greg: Is this the correct interpretation?

Thanks.

I ordered the SB59, SL64, SB67, and SL68 kits on 24 Jan with least expensive shipping. The next day I ordered the same kits for a building buddy who is out of the country but almost done with the aircraft. He wanted expedited shipping. It shipped the same day. I was told by Nancy the parts were on hand just waiting to be kitted up. Impressive. (Still haven't received my shipping notice, but the shipping to Utah was only about $8 for expedited). All parts cost $59 plus sales tax and shipping.

I ordered SB-00067 and SL-00068 on 1/23, as of 1/27 my order status is “pending”.

[seagull]

Has anyone else received their counterweight repair parts?

I ordered SB-00067 and SL-00068 on 1/23, as of 2/1 my order status is “pending”.

[FlyingDiver]

Got mine a couple days ago.

[Bob Y]

Ordered on the 23rd, received the 26th by USPS priority.

[FlyingDiver]

I also ordered on the 23rd, but chose least cost. It was delivered USPS on the 28th or 30th, I forget which.

If yours is still pending, you might want to reach out. Might be a payment issue.

I got notification 1 hour after posting this that the order was shipped.
