I was deburring F-1019L (one of the luggage ribs for the RV-10) and discovered 2 cracks in one of the lightening holes and 1 crack in another. The longest one is approx 1/8 inch long. Wondering if these are "dressable" or if the part needs to be replaced. Also wondering if this is a regular occurrence since this is the first time I've run across something like this.
A forum search turned up a problem with lightening holes in HS ribs on the -12 where Van's was sending out "repaired" ribs.
I'll try to get a photo (or at least a link) added shortly.
