Our RV10 has a small gap in the skin on both sides, on the outboard forward corner, under the seats. As we are doing SB-00007 and replacing the landing gear mounts it has allowed us to see how much detritus enters through those gaps, particularly grass, here in the UK the majority of strips that we use are grass.
Does anyone know why the gaps are there? My guess is that in the case of a significant fuel leak then it will allow fuel to drain? Also I wonder if it can allow CO to enter the cabin area?
Has anyone blocked up these gaps?
