Not according to the rules. I want to say though that the new rules are making us better liars. I dont see why you couldnt just take your n-numbers off, remove the old id plate and serial number and redo the entire thing. you could litterly make up a new serial number, pretend it is a different plane and go through the hoops. I would advise you to get a different DAR though! Not like it is etched in stone. dont know why anyone would want to go through all the trouble but there you have it. lie like hell.

I had the same problem with a 503 on a quicksilver a couple years ago that I got a good deal on. Tried 3 different carbs, dozens of settings, 3 different fuel pumps, all new fuel lines & filter and a thunderbird dance. It would give 6000 rpms for 2 to 5 minutes then cut back to 1500 to 2000 for about the same. I could stay up with good thermals but not for too long otherwise. Finally pulled the jugs off. The rings were stuck just a little (if there is such a thing) and there were a couple light scuff marks on both pistons. Also the crosshatching on the cylinder walls was negligible to nonexistent. I purchased the next sized up pistons & rings online, had a local machine shop bore the walls to spec & it flew like a new one until I sold it 200 hours later. I assumed then, & still do, that it was partially seizing until it cooled a little then was good to go until it heated up again. I put about 6 or 8 hours & several =98exciting=99 flights on it that way.

Hello gang, Looking for information and advice. We have a firestar ll with a 503 rotax, dual ignition, dual carbs, pull start, no battery, Grandson experienced a engine problem which is described as engine rpm=99s dropped off , engine was plumbed in series, not parallel. I know that some recommend the electric pump be installed in parallel, but this is a lot more complicated and messy.and is it really necessary?? Sorry for such a long post.but thanks for your thoughts and inputwill let you know what happens.

The FAA told me that I could not re-register the airplane. I know it would bring a better price if it was E-LSA because the new owner could attend a mechanic's class and sign off on all of his work. Unfortunately, I am sure the FAA would look at my file history and know what I had done. I'll be losing money on Ebay real soon.

I got a couple hundred hours out of my B box with a Warp 66" two blade, but that was with ordinary gearbox lube. A shorter prop and better lube and you ought to do OK.
