Wing lift strut bulletin (SB 910A)
Dated October 10, 1989, the bulletin covers PA-18/18A and PA-19 Super Cubs. Piper found the old five-year inspection interval too long to catch strut corrosion. Corrosion can lead to strut failure and loss of wing structure integrity. The bulletin requires a 12-month inspection and treatment cycle, and replacement with sealed struts.
What to check on the struts
The inspection uses a Maule fabric tester on the strut tubes. Any dent in the metal means replacement before further flight. Rust pin holes or large rust stains also mean replacement, even if the strut passes the test. Take extra care under strut-root cuffs. Check the forks, clamps, fairleads and jury struts. Confirm the rigging was rechecked and the logbook entry made.
Family context and operating data
Registry data for the PA-18 family (which includes PA-19 variants) shows up to 2 passengers, up to 100 kt cruise, up to 380 nm range, a ceiling up to 19000 ft and MTOW up to 800 kg. These are family maximums, not PA-19 figures. A company checklist for the PA-18A-150 lists Vx 45 mph and Vy 75 mph. It is not a PA-19 document.

Safety notes
- Any perceptible dent in a lift strut tube means replace the strut before further flight, per Service Bulletin 910A.
- Visible external strut corrosion (rust pin holes or large rust stains) requires replacement even if the strut passes the dent test.
- Corrosion can lead to lift strut failure and loss of wing structure integrity, so do not accept missing strut records.
