SL-00022: RV-12iS Flaperon Torque Tube Spacer

Van's has published Service Letter SL-00022, which guides affected aircraft owners (as described in the service letter document) to install a special spacer if their flaperon torque tubes are measured and found to be short. The procedure for measuring and inspecting included in the service letter document.

Should the flaperon torque tubes be found to be short, Van's Part Number SL-00022 is a bag that contains the hardware components needed to perform the addition of a special spacer washer on both wings of the aircraft.

This service letter applies only to RV-12iS aircraft (does not apply to the original/legacy RV-12) as defined in the service letter document.
 
Well, nuts. I’ll be calling Vans tomorrow to order the parts for this one. At least it looks like an easy job.
 
My finish kit was shipped May 2018 (within the affected range), however, my torque tubes were correct.

Maybe I got lucky, but definitely measure before ordering the SL kit!
