I confess, I was whistling through the graveyard when I only visually checked the Rudder Balance tube during yesterday's "general condition" inspection. Since I had just re-installed it following the September paint job, I assumed that all was OK. Came off in my inspector's hands; snapped across clean at the lower through hole. Inside there was a doubler tube that must have been field installed in China since it was merely an interference fit and not welded. 



Might have happened during a recent flurry of acro flights where I did a lot of heavy boot moves trying to get the CJ to perform like an Extra. Never gonna happen.



So, I was embarassed that I missed it but grateful that it was found. Doug Sapp says that the Chinese had a service letter out on this item and later model CJ's were equipped with a thicker tube. OTOH, my inspector, Tom Scott was a Charles Taylor award winner, for you wrench types.



Are there other CJ service letters that we don't know about?

Mr Andrews,

  This is Larry with the wreched CJ "Spooky". Is there any way you could take a few digital pictures of scotts Yak gill assy you have there?  Mostly interested in the outer ring with the air dame, cylinder stand offs andaxil rod bushings.  I am dealing with a little problem with Steve Culp and need to have pictures of scotts assy in an effort to solve this.  Please let me know if you can do this.  If not I will have to plan a trip to DVT this weekend.

  Thanks

  Larry
