CORROSION AND CRACKING OF THE SWAGED PUSHROD ENDS

Applicable to the SZD-38A JANTAR 1, SZD-41A JANTAR STANDARD, SZD-42, SZD-42-1 JANTAR 2, SZD-42-2 JANTAR 2B, SZD-48 JANTAR STANDARD 2, SZD-48-1 JANTAR STANDARD 2, SZD-48-3 JANTAR STANDARD 3, SZD-50-3 PUCHACZ, SZD-51-1 JUNIOR, SZD-55-1. On a SZD-48-1 Jantar Standard 2 the swaged pushrod end split open under the pressure caused by exfoliation corrosion. These gliders have proven to be vulnerable to corrosion whenever they have been allowed to get wet and so special precautions need to be taken to dry the glider should it get wet. Special care should also be taken to ensure that the glider trailer is water tight.
