I don't agree but I have a personal agenda. I have one of those planes in question and at some later date I might want to sell it. The difference in selling price between a C or CD and D or above is getting to be well over $10,000. A firm answer as to its status is important to me, and possibly a picky potential purchaser, but once again I would like input as to wording so not to "shoot others in the foot." Bill
