I have not heard many reports of problems found after inspection of the wing root skin as per SB14-11-03. Do you have anything to add about a that?....did you find a problem?

I would really like see a report of what percentage of flying RV12s had the problem and to have that set against some indication of TT on them.

FWIW: 290 hours and I didn't have any smokey rivets.

When the problem was detected on the RV-12 prototype it had over 1000 flight hrs.
Considering the hard use it endures (large number of different pilots and used for transition training) it is reasonable to expect that other RV-12's would have to acquire at least a similar amount of flight time before seeing a problem.
As far as I am aware, the only other installations of the doubler kit have been pre-emptive on flying RV-12's, or during construction of the wings on newer builds.
