Hi All
I recently purchased an RV6A that was completed in 1998. I noticed that Van put out an AD on the Nosegear leg recommending that it be replaced.
The Builder of this plane had the gear leg magnafluxed in 1999 and dye tested in 2001. Both times there were no signs of cracks.
My question is how difficult is this to have the gear leg replaced? How much downtime can I expect and what is the cost's?
Today I took the weight off the nosegear and noticed there is some play in it. I could wiggle it a bit from side to side. Is this a problem? I have not experienced any shimming when taking off or landing.
