The airworthiness directive
47-32-17 BELLANCA: (Was Mandatory Note 7 of AD-773-5.) Applies to Models 14- 13, 14-13-2 Serial Numbers 1060, and Up.
Compliance required prior to October 15, 1947.
Improper positioning of the inspection covers on the top surface of each wing at the landing gear retracting sprocket can cause malfunctioning of the gear retracting mechanism. This cover is held in place by two spring clips, and if the cover is installed with the clips running in a chordwise direction, it is possible that the ends of the clips will bear against the chain and force it off the sprocket, jamming the system. Inspect the covers on your airplane for proper installation, and paint arrows on the cover and wing surface so that the arrows point toward each other when the spring clips run spanwise.
(Bellanca Service Bulletin No. 10 covers this same subject.)
