Aug 13, 2023 Van's Laser Drill Parts Update Category: Misc.
Whew! I have lucked out on the LCP anomaly. My empennage kit was packed for shipping 9-2020, so well before this issue arose. Only 2X tail-feather items I need to replace are the 2 flap spars that countersunk wonky and were re-ordered. They had a build date of X-2022, thus affected. I had them ready to install and a close look with a 12X eye loupe shows small craters on the dimple (although no dimples have cracked). The wing kit, that came in March 2023 is a different story. Various items on the Van's RV-10 Wing Kit List are applicable. Tried some Section 5 techniques to affected Flap Ribs, but still look like heck. The holes are not circular and are barely below the maximum diameter after working the defects out. Sample dimpling did not crack the rib dimple hole but there is lots of slop in the hole when a sample -3 rivet is installed.
