Van's Engineering Solutions Service Letters for RV-10 and RV-14/14A

Reference Library: www.vansaircra...
Van's Aircraft has published four service letters for the RV-10 and RV-14/14A, for wing and fuselage kits/aircraft that are assembled with certain laser-cut parts. The engineering fixes described in the service letters provide alternatives to parts replacement, or in some cases provide easier-to-install parts, for use in specific situations. Please refer to the service letters for scope and applicability. These service letters specify intervals for inspection and operation prior to installation of the alternate engineering solutions.
Parts for these engineering solutions are scheduled to be available and to begin shipping in late June.
Note that through the engineering assessment and design process that resulted in the above service letters, several parts were also reclassified as "Acceptable for Use." Please refer to the latest version of the laser cut parts list (VAD-10041 R8) for details.
All of these documents are accessible from the laser cut parts reference library on the Van's website.
The Van's engineering team is currently completing their assessment of the RV-8 fuselage kit and will determine through that process what (if any) parts, hardware, or other changes may be needed for kits that include laser-cut components in the gear towers. We anticipate releasing that information in late June.
