Did anyone notice that the deadline to respond to this is only FOUR days away? Must respond by November 26, 2001. With Thanksgiving and federal Holidys - there really isn't time to respond. After reading and Re-reading the the proposal and recommended solution, it appears that they have taken one of the old ercoupes that someone abandoned and left to rot- donated it to a Part 147 school for students to work on - and are surprised that it had corrosion. If that's the case, then the proposal is ludicrous. And the timing on this is fishy. It was dated October 25, 2001, and is now being sent out to EOC members? I'd like to know why EOC didn't get this out in a more timely fashion - via email/bulletin boards. the AOPA has gone to bat for Cessna owners and other regarding propsed AD's. Members should alert them of this. The solution looks like it mandates eight more inspection plates by a Univair Service Bulletin dated July 24, 2000. This will not be a cheap AD to comply with. Even worse, it will add to the "swiss cheese" look of the bottom. No one wants anyone flying with corroded wings, but this appears on the face of it to be an unneeded solution. WRITE [EMAIL PROTECTED] or FAX him at 303-342-1088 and voice your concerns. I know how beuracracies work and what gets action. I for one am going to stress that there has been very little time for owners to become fully informed on the issue. And let them know that I intend on "personally contacting" (they don't like that) Political Action groups of AOPA, EAA, Congressmen , and other members higher up in the FAA to have a more complete and timely review of this "proposed" problems.
