I spent yesterday afternoon at the hangar, probably the hottest day of the
year, sweating and doing the ram air butterfly valve loose screw service
bulletin. Sure enough, one screw was finger tight. The other screw
was Allen wrench tight.
Thanks to the LML and a special thanks to Erik. When this issue first
arose, I implemented the same "check it often with a mirror and flashlight"
procedure as Erik, hoping that would be sufficient. Erik's report on the
LML about how quickly the screw backs out, combined with Lancair publishing the
SB, scared me into checking it and I'm so glad I did! Thanks!
