Copy of Mod 75/3 attached to today=92s e-mail to Rob. Copy of Mod 71/3
with
my Sunday e-mail. Copy of Mod 76/3 attached here. If you cannot find
them
let me know and I will send direct to you. I will change Mod 71/3 to
include rounding off the spring ends and using 5/16 bolts (rather than
=BC).
I will send you a copy when it has been revised.
Thanks for the explanation of the foot well change.

Ian,
I am sure they are working as fast as they can.. I do not get into the
loop
on the finals of these mods as I am not the only person putting in
changes.
I would like to see the final issues sent to Andy if it is not too much
trouble. Different folks are responsible for different mods so I am not
privy to all the final touches until the Gods at the LAA pass judgment
I'm
afraid I just am too much of a maverick and "git 'er done", rather than
mother may I.
The clearance was necessary for a Jason Parker Fuel injected Rotax and a
specialized frame for a 50 amp alternator that belt drives off the rear
of
the crank shaft and the alternator bracket didn't quite fit... We
measured
three times and it just was a little too tight, so I needed another 1/2
inch. Those little compromises we make for clearances. By putting the
alternator off a belt drive, the maintenance and access in the engine
compartment is superb, but the frame is a proprietary frame, similar to
the
Rotax frame, but modified for clearances for the belt...
Regards,
Bud

After I replied to the e-mail last night, I realised that Mod 71 issue
3
is, in fact, sitting on Andy Draper=92s desk at the LAA. Andy has had
it
since May but, despite chasing, has yet to come back with the formal
approval. The same applies to the revised mods 75 & 76.
I think it would be helpful if I added your notes to the Mod 71
documentation. If you are happy with this I will send you a revised
draft
in a few day. When you are happy I will pass to LAA for formal
approval.
Out of interest, why was the forward, top, inboard corner of the stbd
foot
well removed in the attached picture?
