Listers,

 Just a note to caution all with RV-XAs that are subject to Service Bulletin 07-11-09 to help you avoid making the mistake I made.

 

 Since I have been doing my Condition Inspection in February, one of the first things I did was remove the nose gear leg and send it away for modification. I then ordered a new nose fork from Van's via the Web Store. My rationale was that the leg mod could be going on while I completed the inspection and would be returned in a couple of weeks, or so, and the fork would be delivered in about a week, the usual time for UPS ground from the West Coast.

 

 Well, after a few days, I checked with Van's web site to see if my fork order had been shipped. I did not find my web order on the list. To get first hand information, I called Van's to find out if there was reason for delay. 

 

 The answer was "it may be a "COUPLE OF MONTHS" ; " the pile of orders is about THREE inches thick".

 

 So, I have an RV-6A and its old fork and am awaiting return of my modified gear leg and may have to wait a couple of months to get my new fork.

 

 So, the obvious advice is: check with Van's to find out the current backlog of orders for the new fork BEFORE you send away your gear leg.

 

 Good luck!!!

I saw one person who cut (drilled) into the bottom of the fork

 to accommodate the shortened gear leg.

  

 Determine if that is an acceptable solution.

Thank you Richard.

 I just sat down at the computer to check on my  order for the nose gear fork (placed with Van's about two weeks ago) and  received your message. Guess I better forget about doing it with my Condition  Inspection next month.

Have any of you used a local machine shop to cut  off and re-thread the gear leg?
