Wing spar directives
FAA AD 2000-10-22 requires inspecting the wing spar doublers for cracks, replacing any cracked doubler and fitting Revo Modification Kit B-79. AD 2002-21-05 covers the spar doublers and cap angles, with an inspection report to the FAA. Both list the Lake LA-4-200. The stated risk is loss of the wing. Ask for logbook proof of compliance.
Horizontal tail fitting
Revo Service Bulletin B-78 covers the horizontal stabilizer attachment fittings on the LA-4 and LA-4-200 after a crack in a left-hand fitting. It checks the gap with a 5/32 drill-bit shank; a smaller gap means removing the fitting. The Lake Central steel fitting LC-2200-21 is an approved replacement for the original aluminum part. Inspect it annually or every 100 hours.
Equipment and handbook notes
The POH covers a hydraulically operated constant-speed propeller and an 8-quart oil system. A C&D combustion heater kit (CD12011K7) is documented for the LA-4-200. Its post-install test gives a preferred fuel pressure of 8 psi (6.5 min, 10 max). The POH copy supplied is garbled in places, so verify weights and limits against the aircraft's own approved manual.

Safety notes
- Wing spar cracks can lead to loss of the wing (AD 2000-10-22 and AD 2002-21-05). Confirm inspections and Kit B-79 are recorded.
- Any crack found in the stabilizer fitting or doubler requires replacement before further flight. No repair of the LC-2200-21 is permitted.
- Service Bulletin B-78 set a compliance window of the next 5 hours of flight time. Verify it was done.
