It would be nice if you stayed right on subject, I'm expressing my opinion without dancing, please try to do the same.
Okay, you're kind of acknowledging structural changes. That's a step forward. A structural change is a structural change. There are no exceptions. Maybe I should be perfectly clear. Given the always present popularity of a gwi, why wasn't the CD's gwi increased at the factory after the changes made for the D, excepting of, course the limit in elevator travel. And since you brought it up, is there an approval for a C or CD to use the split elevator? I don't know the answer and it shouldn't be "Yes, when it's converted to a D". That muddies up your water again. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed Burkhead To: ety Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 5:33 PM Subject: RE: [ercoupe-tech] stc for 1320 Al wrote: Still not getting it, I guess. What are all those changes, Ed? Landing gear must be modified according to Note 3 paragraph (f) of the TCDS 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).

The CD model is also eligible for this 1320 lb. gross weight STC. Ed
