AirBorne Service Bulletins

AirBorne has issued Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-011 that EdgeX aircraft owners should be aware of.  The principle action of this service bulletin is to describe the inspection of the mast to rear drag link support wire, part description "Mast Support Wire X 1250," Part # 103070 as fitted to all AirBorne Windsports EdgeX series trike bases (Redback, Outback, and Classic).

The secondary action is to describe the removal of the bottom heat shrink, and the replacement of the mast support wire.

It has come to AirBorne's attention that the gap between the heat shrink and the wire at the bottom swages of the Mast Support wire may collect moisture, which can then lead to corrosion.

Since this is a mandatory bulletin all SLSA owners are obligated to implement this bulletin to remain airworthy.  ELSA owners are encouraged to implement the bulletin but are not legally required to.

As part of continued airworthiness you should make it a habit to check AirBorne's website for service bulletins that may apply to your aircraft.
