Ron, The UK Rotax agent procedure for modest overspeeding (between 6000 & 6100 rpm) was to remove the push rods and check them for straightness using a sort of cradle and a micrometer measuring device. If that is OK no further checks are needed.

Talked to Edsel Ford off the FAA today about the up coming LSA rule changes that I was originally told was due out mid Dec. Seems that the rule changes are done and have been sitting on the Director's desk for a while and they are waiting for him to sign them. No one seems to know what the hold up is. So it could be days or weeks. When these rules are posted they may not have an immediate effective date. They could be effective tomorrow or April. We will have to look at them to see when each effective phase in date occurs. Here are where the rules will turn up first. http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Gu...meset?OpenPage -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.
