----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Harry. You might be right with your assumption that it is legal to have the C-85 in a C Model Coupe.But What makes me still think that the D-model is only eligible for a 85 hp engine is that all the concerns about the elevator travel restriction were triggered by the fact that you could stall the plane idue either the increased gross weight or due the higher power of that engine. That means : Not only the plane could be stalled in power off due to higher gross weight , but also in power on due to the stronger engine. (The slipsteam of the 'high performance' C-85 would push down the elevator into a stall) That's why the split elevator has been developed to overcome the power on stall problem with the 85 hp engine. That's why I am sure lists the Type Certificate A-787 the C-85 only together with the D Model.

The D model and elevator restrictions come about due to increased gross weight of the D model -- 1400 lbs, vs 1260 for the C model...not engine hp.
