Mandatory service bulletin SB031

[Megaloop]

Hi!

 

I’m about to get a nice 2nd hand Savannah VG but just found this service bulletin from ICP:
 

https://www.icp.dk/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=bulletin:sb031-extruded-of-main-spar-rev00.pdf

 

This one looks quite serious, but I could not find any forums talking about it. Anyone has any experience with it?

 

I understand my plane (07-07-51-xxx) would not be affected, but not 100% sure as the SB wording looks a bit misleading to me. Any thoughts or guidance would be really helpful.

 

Million thanks in advance, cheers!

Megaloop, It is certainly confusing: welcome to the wonderful world of ICP documentation. Great little aircraft, though!

I have no experience of this, but your 07-07-51 (July 2007) would put you well beyond 01-05-51 (January 2005, or May 2001, whichever that is). By which point presumably they had improved the construction.

It is odd that this work involves replacing parts with parts with identical numbers.
And good luck to anyone trying to do two wings in 13.5hrs. I can only think this is ICP factory time, with all required tools and jigs and experience.
