Applies from: 17th August, 2015

Applies to: Any Moyes glider using round uprights.

Inspection: Whenever an upright is broken or bent it may cause damage to the top
and bottom upright fittings, these parts should be inspected closely and
replaced at any sign of wear or damage.

Service Requirement: Replace bottom upright fitting after 300 hours or if wire
slot widens to greater than 4.8 mm.

It has been bought to our attention of a potential problem of the bottom upright
fitting on gliders with round uprights. The wear has occurred on the slot where
the ball swage fits into.

The photo shows a fitting from a glider with 600+ hours airtime where the slot
has been worn and widened.

It is now mandatory to replace the fitting when the opening exceeds 4.8mm or
after 300 hours airtime.
