Are you working on a Classic or an XS?  Can you tell me exactly what you are
fitting?  Graham Singleton's Mods are for the push rod rudder drive not the
tail wheel.  Moving the Classic tail wheel aft is factory Mod. 43.  Mod 43
also uses the XS cable rudder drive.


This area is at present a bit untidy but let me try and explain:-


1) LAA have reclassified mods from "this aircraft only", "All of type" and
"Standard" to "Prototype", "Repeat" and "Standard".  I am not yet sure what
effect this is intended to have.


2) I have never had a copy PFA 10251.  It was not in the "All of type list"
so probably should not have been used by anyone other than the original
applicant.  As far as I know, this provided the parts to retain the push rod
rudder drive for Classic Mono when used with Mod 43.


3) Mod 10371 (I have a copy) was "All of type" so I think you can use it as
a "Repeat" mod.  This provided the parts for an XS (Mono) to retain the push
rod rudder drive.  As an XS it would already have the rear mounted tail
wheel.


4) Mod 11414 is a Standard mod (written by me) which provides parts to fit
the push rod rudder drive to an XS Trigear.


5) Europa are adopting the push rod rudder drive and it has been announced
as Mod 77.  This covers the mono and the Trigear.  At this moment I have
supplied a draft copy of the Mod documentation to Europa and I am waiting
for them to clear up some inconsistencies in the parts drawings.


If I can be of further help give me a call on 01483 714096

Paul, My original instructions for the mod list it as PFA mod 10251 for the
Classic and 10371 for the XS. Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ ( with Singleton
mod 10371!)
