Syd and the Group,

Add to the Bulletin, that the reason for the CD designation was that 
it had 
the stainless steel cowl cover that was mistakenly left off of the C 
model. I 
think this occured because the C model was originally certified with 
the Erco 
IL-116 Engine, with cowling that stopped at the firewall. 

When the Continental engine became available -(before any sales of the 

airplane - it was selected for use due to cost concerns), the cowling 
now 
required actually covered the forward fuselage; and should have 
required 
installation of the stainless steel fire proofing, as required by the 
CAA 
regulations.

The D model incorporated this modification for safety reasons, and is 
one of  
the reasons a C model must be converted to a  D model in order to 
utilize the 
0-200 engine.

I think all owners of C models should have the stainless Steel 
covering 
installed - just makes sense to me.

Fly Safe - Have Fun
Safely
