I am the new owner of an RV-4 and my inspector here in Canada is asking me to modify the flap rod end bearing with a bolt and washer arrangement to prevent the bearing and housing from separating from each other. My a/c was assembled as per Van's drawings and I am reluctant to change. Is there any history of problems with a separation of this kind resulting in asymetric flap? I feel that as long as I inspect this bearing on a regular basis to check for looseness and wear, It should be safe.
I have asked Van's the same question.
Any comments appreciated. I have a PDF sketch of what he is asking me to do.
