Hey everyone
I'm in the market for a clipped wing cub and have been doing a ton of research online to educate myself on some the birds I've been finding for sale... That being said I'm sure some of these questions have been asked before but I prefer not to hijack someone else's thread, current or old.
The first question I have is why are field approvals not required for the C-85 when the Reed mod only applies to C-65 and C-75s? Is it common knowledge and approved by the FAA to simply have the C-85 stc even with the Reed restriction?
Second, I found a Reed clipped wing that has metal spars. I know the Reed mod was originally limited to wood spars only. Is there an STC that I need to review the logs for that would allow for the install of metal spars?
Thanks for any help you guys can provide!
