Howdy All,
I heard a rumour that Vans has an issue with cracks in the front spar
of the Horizontal stabiliser on the RV6. It seems that the area just above
the
attach point at the front where the HS602 spar has had the flanges
cut off has developed cracks down to the first rivet where the edges
have been filed down. The RV9A which I am building has the same set up, and
I was
wondering if the same issue may arise. Has anyone heard of this
happening on the RV6 or other RV's????
I am thinking about putting in some sort of doubler plate in this area.

Been flying my RV-6 for almost 20 years and I live in RV country(close
to Vans)
I have not heard of an issue with the cracks in the front spar.

I know of at least one RV-7 builder who had an issue with cracking there and decided to rebuild his h-stab. Van's did make a change in the plans regarding better stress relief (a rounded notch) in that that area. The change in plans showed up sometime after Sept 2001.
