Safety Alert #0012

Post by permagray »

I have a Quick Build TSi kit. I have not gotten to any of the fuselage items yet, so everything is as it came to me from the factory. It is a bit unclear to me what part is referred to in this bulletin. Is this something that is already riveted as part of the Quick Build? Could you send me the build diagram of the part with the rivets highlighted so I can ensure that I am looking at the correct thing - (none of the disassembly steps apply to me right now).

I was just getting started this week on that section (QB) and I am trying to figure out the 4 steel rivets listed on the consumables. The build manual pages for that section are not the "pretty color" version... looks like these

Please note that Safety Alert #0012 has been replaced with Service Bulletin #0017 (released today, 02/07/2020) which explains in more detail which rivets need to be inspected.

I have not received and email with the new Service Bulletin for the rivets and I went to the TAF website and looked under both the Sling 4 and the TSi areas and there was no listing there either.
