Hello all,
Picked up the kits for the SL-00092 and SL-00100 on July 19, 2024. I was told I was the first one. I started on the 100 first as that is what's in the shop right now. My completed QB wings are in storage. I started working on it in earnest 7/27. The labor required estimate stated in the Service Letter is 8 hours if, and this is a BIG IF, you are starting with an as delivered QB fuse. My fuse is done so there is a lot of drilling out of rivets for the baggage and floor boards. Plus disassembly of flap actuation. Anyway, here's the time I've spent so far:
Steps 1-10 8.5 hrs
Steps 11-16 2.0 hrs
Steps 18-19 4.0 hrs this is tough. access is limited. You'll need a compact right angle air drill for this.
Steps 20-24 2.0 hrs
Steps 25-30 6.0 hrs
Steps 33-34 8.0 hrs
Steps 35-38 5.0 hrs This is for the left side only
TOTAL: 35.5 hrs
I probably have another 8 to 10 hours to go.
As an aside, determining if I have LCP or not is nearly impossible on a factory assembled fuse. Van's informed me I "probably" had Laser Cut Parts in my fuse so rather than wonder I decided to install the remediation. The structure will be stronger than original and removes any concerns when it comes to resale.
Until next time,
