Here is where we look for AD and Service Bulletins that need to be complied with. Some will be of little consequence. Others will be plain wrong. Others will save your life.
sb07-2-6.pdf Affixing the passenger control stick permanently. Not
a good idea in the RV - 4. The pasenger has no need of an control stick
but the pilot has no access to it if it gets fouled. Better to remove
it when solo.

WD-415-1 TRIM CABLE ANCHOR $8.60
Bugger ! This is a PIA - I just got done installing the elevator and would rather not mess with it. If, however, that were to snap off it could lead to a fatal loss of control.

96-10-1.DOC Van’s FAB-320
SERVICE BULLETIN
Date issued: 10-8-96
Number: 96-10-1
Synopsis:
Affects users of Van’s FAB-320 and FAB-360 filtered airboxes. Bolts
attaching the top plate of the airbox to the carburetor may come loose
and be ingested in the engine, possibly causing severe damage.
Correction:
The four bolts used to fasten the VA-130C (FAB-320) or VA-131C
(FAB-360) to the carburetor must be safetied. This may be accomplished
by either using bolts with drilled heads and safety wiring them in
pairs, or by installing tab lock washers under the bolt heads. If the
tab lock washers are used, a 1/8” hole must be drilled in the top plate
for the tab that prevents the washer from rotating. After the bolt is
installed, an ear of the washer is bent up against one flat of the bolt
heat, preventing the bolt from moving.
Good Idea !!

of standard and flop-type fuel pickup
tubes I recall not being happy with that during construction but cant
remember the corrective action I took.
sb04-2-1.pdf Fuel Tanks Clear plastic found. Inspect Fuel Tanks. Done during assembly. Might be worth a look in the tanks anyway. Dead rat etc.
