Troy,
I feel your pain. You are right in that your Mod 74 will require you
to reopen the wing and reset the pin depth if you do Mod 52 afterwards.
I just bit the bullet and ordered Mod 52 with the Mod 74 using your same
logic.
I have been holding out on informing the classic guys I know until I get
my mods accomplished. I am pretty sure most of them already have Mod 52
installed so their plight is different than mine. I have a tri-gear
Classic which needs the upholstery tore out and my plywood ribs cut down
etc. to complete the transformation.

I am considering doing Mod 52 and Mod 74 in conjuction with each
other. I
figure someday someone will ask if I have all the Mandatory Mods done.
I found out from Roger Bull that if you don't put the MAUW 1370
fuselage
sockets on at the same time as you do mod 74, you would have to go
BACK into
the wing again to adjust the wing lift pins if you wanted to
incorporate the
rest of Mod 52 at a later date. I had thought I could just put the
tie bar
in only with the existing fuselage sockets and the new mod 74 pins
and
retro fit the rest of Mod 52 later. (Or at least that's what I
understood in
a phone conversation today with him.)
So here I am in the middle of painting it and now taking it back
apart!!
What are the rest of you classic foam wing guys here in the states
going to
do about these mods?
What if someday I need to do a trigear conversion. Will having the
tiebar in
the baggage area hinder the installation of the trigear legs to a
great
degree?
