25-2: SB-007
- (1.5 hours)
Category: 25: Mid Fuse
Vans included the templates and drilling dies for completing SB-0007 which, from what I gather, converts the older style three leg gear to the two leg gear. I was expecting to need to drill some holes in the spar before proceeding with the mid-fuselage bulkheads.
Beside running a reamer through the holes on the landing gear mount to clean out the powder coating, I believe everything related to this SB is already taken care of. I test fit all of the bolts and everything seems good. Calling this ok and moving forward.
My carry-through spars were manufactured in January ‘23. I guess Van's is just including the SB templates in case an older spar ships.
