    Gents, this included paragraph is the response I got from the EAA concerning this issue and is EXCELLENT INFO for all of us to keep on hand. I consider this the last word on the matter IMHO. Have a great Memorial Day weekend. Mark Bitterlich "Concerning the AD concerns and applicability. I understand the points made in the March 26, 2003 memorandum from the FAA New England Region's acting regional counsel, however I believe that information is outdated and no longer applicable. I contacted EAA who in turn contacted the Manager, Aircraft Maintenance Division, AFS-300 for the current FAA national guidance on the AD vs. experimental aircraft applicability issue. The current FAA national policy per Mr. Ron Wojnar, AFS-304, is: "Existing regulations do not support enforcement of ADs on TC, PMA, and TSO components installed on non-TCed aircraft. Some ADs may apply to FAA approved products installed on non-TCed aircraft, but compliance is not mandatory because the aircraft is not TCed. However, the rules in part 43 governing the maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, and alteration of these aircraft do not apply. The owner or operator of a non-TCed aircraft is responsible for its design and maintenance. The FAA encourages owners and operators of these aircraft to comply with ADs, but the operator may mitigate safety risks in some other way, without obtaining alternative methods of compliance from the FAA." With this guidance in mind I do plan on reviewing AD's issued against the engine and propeller installed on my aircraft to determine their flight safety applicability per FAR 91.319(b). I will also make the following logbook entry to indicate that a flight safety determination has been made: "I certify that AD Number _________________ has been reviewed on ______________(date)."

    Shawn, I've done the B+C conversion on my 55M utilizing a great deal of the existing setup (original gen warning light, etc.) The system is similar to but not the same as the -52 or -50 systems (it uses the DMR-200 and other components common to many Yaks). I have the diagrams that another -55 owner was gracious enough to send me copies of. I've made some notes on them that might help you to better understand where to start. Contact me off list for more info. Mike Hastings acromike@gmail.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=299235#299235
