There are alot of C coupes that are called D coupes but don't have the complete conversion. Has the stainless steel sheet ben installed over the header tank area? My 415-C has everything like a D except for the stainless steel over the tank, so it's still only a C. I have a sneaking suspicion that someone may have done all the changes to my plane then inadvertently flown it at a 1400lb GW not knowing that the conversion had not been completed. They probably even told their friends that they had a D. Who knows?

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!
