Yes....start at either end of the airplane and work systematically to the other end. DON'T skip from the spinner to the control stick, then back to the firewall and so on. You'll only get lost as to where you were.
Start at the spinner, then the prop bolts, then the prop leading edges, then the front crankshaft seal, then the baffles, etc.....advice from an old A&P that I learned a lot from...
Best,
I had not heard of this issue on the RV-8, Do you have any details on this cracking issue?
Thanks for the great suggestions, guys.
I have been doing annual inspections (under A&P supervision) on my aircraft since 1998, so I'm familiar with the individual tasks. My A&P will gladly sign off my work.
Thanks again...
It might be important to note here that an A&P may delegate and sign off maintenance done by another, but he may NOT delegate an inspection.
He must perform the inspection himself.
