Landing gear must be modified according to Note 3 paragraph (f) of the TCDS <http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgMakeModel.nsf/0 /36fc39ae4a59c7418525673e0067ba7b/$FILE/a-718.pdf> Aircraft Specification A-718. Straight elevators must incorporate the 1 3/8" trim tab and Model "D" travel limits. Previously approved split elevator installations are acceptable. The other items in NOTE 3 don't really apply. There are no structural changes required in changing the 415-C or 415-CD to be a 1400 lb. 415-D (except for the stainless steel skin over the header tank).
