Doug,
The only difference in a D from a CD (which is LSP legal), is the
restricted elevator travel.
The Stainless steel covering that is not on C models, was required on D
models ( Not because of the model change, but because the CAA(FAA) missed it on
certification of the C model when the engine was changed from the ERCO inline
engine to the continental engine), and was required on the CD models. The s/s
was required for safety reasons, as the new cowling now covered the forward
fuselage area...and, thus, was inside the engine compartment.
The CD has all the changes made to the D model except the limited elevator
travel and the increased GW. There was an H model ( only 7 sold) according to
"...A touch of Class", without battery, starter and gen, with a GW of 1360 lbs,
and still 13 deg up travel...
That ought to be precedence for the safety of increased GW to
1320..
