You've gotten some good advice. Have him order up the CD and take a thorough look through the FAA records. If there's no conversion on file, then there is no conversion, because basically it was not completed. A good AI with half a mind can make a proper legal paper correction to the books. I had an old copy of "War and Peace" and I was able to remove an ink stained page with a razor blade one day while I was fooling around. It sure was better than getting rid of that novel. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Todd To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 25, 2006 1:16 PM Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] 415C/D Light Sport Plane ??? ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- "A friend of mine" is looking for nice Ercoupe since he's been having a hard time keeping his medical. He's finding that the true "C" models are not within his price range. He found a nice "C" that had been converted to a "D" model. We understand that the Fed's will not permit a "D" conversion to be converted back to a "C". But the "D" conversion that he's looking at still has the "C" data plate, and is still registered as a "C" on it's Airworthiness Certificate. The conversion was actually done in 1975. The only place that the conversion was recorded was in the log books. So the question is: If the original log books were lost, then recreated ... and the "D" conversion entry was missed in recreating the new logs, would anybody ever really know the difference? I've got a strong suspicion that there are probably many "D" conversions that were never recorded with the Feds, now flying around as "C"s. Please offer any advice on the likelihood of my friend getting snagged at this. Thanks, Richard __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
