Cessna C337 SID

[rschimizze]

I have a 6mm diameter articulating borescope, 3 meters in length that I use for failure analysis work. I am sure it could be wriggled to the area in question and get a very good look (photos and all) at the fittings. If those joints appear pristine then I would be very surprised to find anything more seriously wrong, given the lack of documented historical problems. This seems to me to be a more practical method for performing field examinations of otherwise good aircraft, but as others have stated Cessna has no motivation to be practical to the benefit of the Skymaster community.
