This is a requirement any time you make a major alteration to an amateur built aircraft. Simply write a letter to you local FSDO explaining in detail the modification you made and the change to the W&B or a new W&B. This will get assigned to an air worthiness inspector who will send you a letter most likely assigning you a 5 hour phase 1 fly off test period. I used to be able to accomplish this with a phone call and a follow up letter.

Now, read the rest of your operating limitations and see if you can do phase 1 testing from your airport or whether the operating limitations need to be modified. It takes a couple of weeks to exchange the operating limitations for the newer version if needed.

So the saga of getting "deer slayer" into the air continues. My operating limitations has a paragraph that roughly reads: Subsequent owners must contact the FSDO after a major modification as defined by FAR 21.93a and receive a letter authorizing flight. So I contacted them about my gear change from tri-cycle to conventional. I have not been assigned an inspector yet but as a minimum I suspect they will want to see the installation documentation. Since the Diehl gear in not in the plans I was hoping that Dan Diehl had put out some kind of installation document. Anyone have such a document? If so can you send it to me. Thanks

BTW, I would not bet money that I will have that letter before OSH.
