Not true..... it was a typo error...

S/n 1902 is on the list you just have to go look for it deeper in the AD's... Their is no differance in the way the H was made than any of the others... and thus it applies... because they are made alike... however, the fact that the T337H is flown way up their.. they do relize the fact that it won't get bounced around as much and thus the flexing on the boom mount is not as pronounced... but, never the less you should have it checked when it gets on in age... we have only seen two have cracks in all the ones we have seen and those had cracks show up when we changed out the fuel tanks... and they were not scheduled for inspection for another 2000 hours...
but,... the plane was not in good condition.. and had tremendious boom bounce... almost like riding on a horse... the owner thought it normal... as it always did it and the previous owner though it normal too... needless to say we had to fix it.. as well as fix the reason it was bouncing too... Oh and by the way the rear motor mount was cracked at the firewall too... when we inspected it closer... it had gone thru several annuals.. probably with it broken... in one spot.. as it was well worn and rusted... they missed it totally... and yet they kept flying it... smile... remember metal flexes only so many times before it cracks... smile..
