AD 96-24-17 61 FR 66900

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to The Don Luscombe Aviation History Foundation (referred to as Luscombe from hereon) Models 8, 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D, 8E, 8F, T-8F airplanes. This action requires installing new inspection holes, modifying the wing tip fairings, and inspecting the wing spars for intergranular corrosion. Reports of intergranular corrosion occurring in the wings prompted this action. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent wing spar failure resulting from intergranular corrosion, which, if not detected and corrected, could result in structural failure of the wings and loss of control of the airplane.
