If you received your fuselage kits after this, you received the SB-00007 kit with the fuselage kit. There's no explanation on how to apply this SB to a kit in construction. | ||
* SB-00007 has been partly applied to new parts in the kit. In particular, the landing gear mount and the forward spar designs have been updated, but the side skins have not. The SB calls for enlarging some holes in the forward spar, however, those holes are already the correct size in newer kits (several 1/4in holes, and one 5/8in on each side). The SB includes two templates (VA-274 & VA-275) and two drill guides. These are not needed at all. The part of the SB that involves drilling into the side skins (F-1069 & F-01004T) using the drill templates VA-277 & VA-278 '''''is necessary'''''. | * SB-00007 has been partly applied to new parts in the kit.
