Discus 2, Ventus 2 Technical Note/AD

There is a technical note dated 9/23/2003 (LBA) regarding fixing of
mass balance weights to the elevator of the following models and SNs:

V2: 1, 2, 31, 32, 48, 54, 71, 117, 124-151, 153

D2: 1-185, 187-189

D2T: 1-33

See the S-H website for details.

Summary: A Discus 2T was observed to have elevator friction during
pre-flight inspection. Removal of elevator revealed a lead weight had
detached from elevator. TN requires drilling of inspection holes prior
to next flight. If lead weights are observed to be loose, repair must
be made immediately and entered in log. Otherwise, the repair of fixed
weights must be completed prior to next Annual Inspection or
12/31/2003.

I have asked for fixed price quotes for this work from Ridge Soaring
and M&H. I'll share them with the group as soon as they come in.
