I have an older copy of a manual called ADs and Skyport Aircoupe Service
Notes. On page 14 is a picture of a crack in the wing walk box outer rib.
Mine
looked OK until I glass bead blasted the area. Both sides had a crack. I
read
where they found cracks in 38 of 40 aircraft inspected. Skyport has a
rivet in
repair kit. If left unrepaired, I feel these cracks will grow with
repeated
landings. My right aileron push rod tube to the mast assy. under the seat
was
bent like a bow. To adjust the aileron, someone screwed the heim joint out
until it had very few thread holding. (scary.) I am replacing all 11
heimjoints. They aren't cheap at $20.50 ea. but they sure make the
controll
system tight.
