Hey Guys, 

  Just wanted to post findings on our 100 hour inspection this weekend.  I know there has been some issues on the front wheel bushings.........we did the fix per Van's new instructions at 25 hours.  Shorten shaft to right length....torque to specs..............at 100 hours the bushings have not moved!  Also, tire wear looks very good......should go to 200 hours before needing to rotate.  I contribute this low wear to longer flights........less landings.........and PERFECT landings........LOL.   Tires needed a few psi.  Brake wear looks even on both tires and is still about 70%. I did find some of the bottom bolts on the fuel pump were needing a little tightening.  The air filter was very clean yet except for a few inches around the front. Oil/filter continues to look clean with no shavings.  Added a little wire wrap to left side plug wires to keep them from slightly rubbing the oil line.   

All that done and we are ready for the next 100 hours..........leaving for LOE on Friday.  What a great plane!
