Service Bulletins are generally the domain of the manufacturer of the
aircraft and are created when there is an indication of a problem that
requires correction.  Lancair has generated SBs and they are well
documented and summarized in a number of locations but remember that your
are the manufacturer not Lancair.

There is another reporting device that ties into the SB and that is the
Service Difficulty Report.  SDRs are submitted by you.  SDRs may result in
a Lancair generated SB.  The SDR program has been discussed many times in
this forum as recently as this week and other forums too.  We discuss this
program at the Oshkosh builders and flyers forum and I harp about it
frequently.

In the case of the IV flap rod interference problem, there are three
previously filed SDRs that are available to anybody who looks.  The SDRs
were filed on 8/97, 6/97 and 11/95.  Are you reviewing the SDRs?  Are you
participating in the SDR Program?

SDRs can be filed by contacting (612) 474-4154, SDR@Lancair.net or Lancair
Network News 950 iris Circle Excelsior MN 55331.  A complete listing of SDR
and SB summaries can be downloaded from Marve's site as well as ours at
www.lancair.net.

Waiting for someone else to tell you what to do (Lancair SB) is not taking
your piloting responsibilities seriously. Of course, you should comply with
the Lancair geneated SBs.  But, review the SDRs!  You are the manufacturer
of your craft and you can create your own SB any time you feel it is
required.  You do not have to wait for Lancair Intl. to do the SB for you!
Please participate.  We will assist by keeping the SDR list posted and
current with your continued input.

BTW.  If you download the SB and SDR list to a file, you can do searches
for key words.  Try searching for "FLAP".
