BULLETIN #51
DATE:
August 10, 1998
SUBJECT:
Flap clevis attachment rivets
APPLICABILITY:
All Pulsar III aircraft
COMPLIANCE:
Mandatory
FROM:
SkyStar Aircraft Product Development
To
provide increased clearance between the flap actuator rod end and the upper wing
skin, an additional clevis spacer plate was incorporated in all Pulsar III kits;
however, a longer rivet was not provided. To ensure that the flap clevis is
securely attached, longer rivets will need to be installed.
If
you have already installed your flap clevises, carefully drill out the ¼”
long rivets that were originally sent with the kit, and install the P/N
95005.000 3/8” rivets provided with this Service Bulletin. If you have yet to
install the flap clevises, be sure to do so with the 3/8” rivets.
Please
note that as this is a blind rivet installation, you will get no visual
indication that the rivets were originally too short. Be sure to check the part
numbers and rivet lengths to ensure that you are installing the proper fastener.
If
you have any questions, you are invited to call our Customer Service department
at 208-454-2444 for more information.
