Dave I'm not sure what he needs, there is a guy in Elisabeth City building an RV-8, call the FBO and they can hook him up. The owner of the FBO has a Thorp T-18. Vans Airforce would be a good site to get more help.

There is apparently a new service bulletin that he needs serious help on........

If all else fails, he can try contacting George Orndorff here in the Charlotte area (Gold Hill Airpark -- 25NC).... PS.. did he find cracks or just needs help with inspection? He should be able to find someone closer if it's just the inspection.. and if he has found cracks on the HS spar.. then it's a job that must be taken very seriously.. a poor repair can be more dangerous than the crack itself
