We had a similar problem in the aeronca community with the no bounce gear and a gross weight increase. Final authority was the guy who wanted to change it wrote a letter to the faa and they approved the LSA category of the aircraft. Seems the lsa rule is causing some confusion in the "almost an lsa" certificated community. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ercoupe Technical Discussion (moderated) Sent: Sunday, May 22, 2005 3:01 AM To: Ercoupe Technical Discussion (moderated) Subject: Digest list: Ercoupe Technical Discussion (moderated) ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Message list: 1.

We can convert to anything the TC says is approved but that does not make it LSA eligible because as you say Erco was gone long before LSA.

If we consider your statement entirely without regard to LSA, you seem to say owners of a CD later converted to a D have no option to reverse the process (should they so desire via their properly certificated repairman) using the ERCO precedent and applicable type certificate information as "approved data". If that was your intent, what would be the supporting authority (exclusive of the inconsistent interpretations of various FAA regions and personnel)?

The ATC was granted on June 13, 1947. Erco soon decided that the up-elevator limitation seriously affected the landing qualities of the aircraft.... The 415CD restored the up-elevator to the previous 13 degree limit and reduced the gross weight back to 1260 pounds." Now it seems to me that those with the (converted) D model wanting to revert back to the CD model with a lower gross weight are doing no more than ERCO themselves did.
