Newbie builder here, but aren't these called out in the plans? You'd think
the designer would know better than anyone what we should have access too.

| Subject: | Large Baggage Pod |
I am working on a Model III and would like to have the large baggage
pod. Anyone have one to get rid of? Or the details on the additional
structure to add to the fuselage. I saw some drawings posted on another
site showing the drop tank style unit.
I am getting to the point where I am close to finishing the cowl work
and fuselage and this issue will start to hold up progress. Any help
you can give is greatly appreciated.

Randy,
You are right that some of these are called out in the building plans, but
over time as people fly and maintain their planes they discover places they
wish they had installed inspection ports for various reasons, call it hind
sight 20/20 if you will, I think this is the input Darin was looking for. In
the end it will still be his decision where to put what.

Hi which mount do you have the flat plate mount or the side mount? I have a side
mount that has 300 hrs TT removed it when I changed to the HKS.

| Subject: | Re: Large Baggage Pod |
My model 4 is fitted for the factory built, torpedo shaped baggage pod. Is that
what you're talking about? I didn't realize they came in different sizes. I'd
be happy to take careful measurements of my brackets so you can continue with
the building while you look... Actually, as I write this, it occurs to me that
the specifications should be mentioned somewhere in the construction records
and plans that came with the airplane. Only helps you though if we're talking
about the same pod.

I have a model 4-1200 right gear leg. Don't know if it is
equivalent. I bent up the left one. Thats when I changed to spring
gear.

| Subject: | Series 5 Light Sport |
Steve,
I would be very interested in hearing about your Series 5, and how you configured
it for use as a light sport aircraft. My Series 5 is only partially built and
I am
considering what I would need to do to build as a light sport and retain a useful
load of around 525#. My kit came with convertable wing tips, duel brakes, and
all
the speedster fairings including the false ribs. Along the way, I obtained a
spring gear, an NSI EA81 and cockpit adjustable prop. Obviously, the prop would
be out for light sport use and I suspect the EA-81 and spring gear might be a bit
heavy. Should I forget the convertable wing tips to save weight and just go with
one length? short or long? Any comments/suggestions from you or others on this
list would certainly be helpful.

Steve,
As far as I know the mounts should be the same. The only
difference between a grey and blue head is the head, the rotary valve
seal, and the water pump. All else should be the same.

John,
First, let me say that my "5" has the typical "Experimental Amateur Built" airworthiness
certificate, There is nothing special or different with 84KF. It was
assembled IAW the factory construction manual, has a 921UL engine and 3 blade
Warp Drive prop, spring gear, and, at present, an empty weight of 762 lbs.(
See attached pictures)
The final empty weight of your aircraft is the key to flying it under sport pilot
privileges..., along with a solid understanding of "The Final Rule", (the
link posted below).
http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/regulatory/sport_rule.pdf
Now, as stated in the Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 143 / Tuesday, July 27, 2004
/ Rules and Regulations, page 44791......
"The FAA believes that there might be confusion concerning what airworthiness certificates
apply to lightsport aircraft. Therefore, the FAA is clarifying this
issue. A sport pilot may operate any aircraft that meets the definition in
1.1 of a light-sport aircraft, regardless of the airworthiness certificate issued
for the aircraft. An aircraft that meets the light-sport aircraft definition
may have any airworthiness certificate that may be issued for an aircraft,
such as standard, special, primary, or experimental amateur-built aircraft."
Second, if we were to attempt to continue this discussion on line, here on the
"List" we would be jumped on by the so called (cough cough) "moderators", all
amatuer hobbiest, who don't have a clue what's going on, but will insist that
a 25 year professional FAA representative and Part 147 educator is full of $#%&.
E-mail me at stevebenesh@comcast.net and we can arrange a personal conversation
on the subject over the phone at your convenience if you care to.
Steve
