Does anyone have a copy of the 337 they used to put there J3C-65 Cub on Edo 92-1400's, that they would be willing to share?
This is the story. I purchased my Cub on floats back in 2001. I flew it for 4 years then took it out of service to do a complete restoration. While getting the lower longerons replaced and F.A. Dodge weld on float fittings put on, the local FSDO agent came out to inspect and stated "the J3C-65 can't be put on floats without a 337. Only the J3C-65S can be put on the 92-1400 floats using only a logbook entry"!
He also stated you can't make a J3C-65 into a J3C-65S, only Piper can do that, and we know that is a dead end.
If you look at the TCDS A-691, it states, (I copied and pasted direct from the TCDS)
A-691
Page 14 of 21
Landing Gear and Floats (cont.)
208. Edo 92-1400 floats with water rudder (Model J3C-65S only) +118 lb. (+1)
Bungee must be installed in the elevator control system
per Piper Dwg. 80352
So it looks like he is right. I was told that some FSDO's take the TCDS literally, and some will give you some slack. Mine is the no slack. can anyone help?
Thanks
