What was found

LEAK DISCOVERED DURING A PITOT/STATIC LEAK TEST, THAT ONLY EVIDENCED ITSELF ABOVE 180 KNOTS. FOUND LEAK AT EPOXY GLUE THAT IS APPLIED TO ITS SIDE AT MFG. CONTACTED BEECH/BOMBARDIER, WHO, IN TURN, CONTACTED THE PART MFG. THEY ADVISED REPAIR OF LEAK IS AS EASY AS APPLYING MORE CHEMLOCK 304 OVER THAT ALREADY IN PLACE AS A RESULT OF MFG. NEWEST VERSION OF PART INCLUDED AN H IN ITS PART NUMER AND IS WELDED INSTEAD OF GLUED. PURCHASED A NEW PART FOR REPLACEMENT. (X)
