Might I suggest as you all go about your SB inspections, that you report back to the lists with your a/c type, TTA, inspection results (no cracks, cracks, extensive cracks) and your flying profiles (no aero, mild aero, hard aero) to help us understand the overall fleet condition and assess the airframe life of these designs under the normal range of conditions. Some of you are quite easy on these airframes while others I'm sure are yank and bankers.
As for my RV-6A situation at 1130 TTA, no cracks or distress found in either the horizontal stab or elevator, with a history of mild to no aerobatics, a few dozen hours in mountain wave conditions during cross countries and only one time to +6gs during botched maneuver.

I did the inspections and could see no problems, though I should mention that since my airplane was painted before It was flown, it was painted in pieces (55 to be exact). So my elevators and H.S. have color coat on top of the primer virtually everywhere that is visible. That urethane paint is pretty tough and flexible. There could be a crack in the aluminum without it showing through urethane, couldn't there?
N811WT
IO-360-B2B
3-blade Catto prop.
125 hrs.
No problems visible.

Unfortunately, the SB says to remove paint/primer so you can see the
|
cracks, if they are there.
Q:
Inspection: Remove the Empennage fairing. Carefully inspect for cracks
emanating from
the stress relief notch at the inboard end of the forward horizontal
stabilizer spar flanges.
(see Figure 1 and figure 3). Clean the area and remove any paint,
overspray or primer
that could hide a crack. Cracks may be very small and hard to detect.
