annual inspection checklist

Post by boeing »

Hi guys!!! time for my first annual on the Champ. I have a good ame who is helping me with this one. he has done alot of fabric/wood/tube inspections, but is a little new on Aeronca's. I do have the yellow covered service manual for my plane, but is there, or does anyone have a annual inspection checklist that may help us with the inspection?
I have done alot of research and reading during the past year, and have learned alot about thses airplanes and problem ares to look for. but any additional help or tips here would be greatly appreciated!!!!
thanks in advance.

I use a standard checklist, but always pay a little extra attention to the oleos and the stick socket. Hope someone has a Aeronca specific list.

Boeing,

Pls email me your direct email address. I have one for the Chief that you could adapt for your Champ.

Remember that you have to do all the research on the extra bits on the plane, not just the airframe and engine but brakes, instruments, tires and so on.

what does this airplane have to have in the way of SPAR AD's. Does it need holes in the upper side of the wings? Can these spars be seen clearly with a GOOD borescope from the bottom inspection holes? (Two new ones were put in this one on the bottom) Thanks for help. What about the struts? Any problems here? Thanks for help.
