I am considering doing Mod 52 and Mod 74 in conjuction with each other. I
figure someday someone will ask if I have all the Mandatory Mods done.
I found out from Roger Bull that if you don't put the MAUW 1370 fuselage
sockets on at the same time as you do mod 74, you would have to go BACK into
the wing again to adjust the wing lift pins if you wanted to incorporate the
rest of Mod 52 at a later date. I had thought I could just put the tie bar
in only with the existing fuselage sockets and the new mod 74 pins and
retro fit the rest of Mod 52 later. (Or at least that's what I understood in
a phone conversation today with him.)
So here I am in the middle of painting it and now taking it back apart!!

What are the rest of you classic foam wing guys here in the states going to
do about these mods?

What if someday I need to do a trigear conversion. Will having the tiebar in
the baggage area hinder the installation of the trigear legs to a great
degree?

Troy
that is the wise decision, (put in both mods together) (imho!)
Without the articulating sockets the pins would still see some bending
loads, which I don't feel happy about. You only have to hit a strong
thermal at 80kts with the flaps down and that would cause quite high
loads, which you WON'T feel on the flap lever btw,all the flap load goes
through the flap brackets, none into the push rod connected to the gear.

p.s. (I wouldn't anticipate too much extra problem with a tri gear
conversion but never tried it)

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Troy,
I feel your pain. You are right in that your Mod 74 will require you to reopen the wing and reset the pin depth if you do Mod 52 afterwards. I just bit the bullet and ordered Mod 52 with the Mod 74 using your same logic.

I have been holding out on informing the classic guys I know until I get my mods accomplished. I am pretty sure most of them already have Mod 52 installed so their plight is different than mine. I have a tri-gear Classic which needs the upholstery tore out and my plywood ribs cut down etc. to complete the transformation.

Troy:
In re: tie bar and Tri-Gear conversion
An already installed tie bar will be the least of your problems. By far the most frustrating, tedious, difficult, messy (add a few more modifiers here) part of constructing a Tri-Gear is the installation of the main gear leg sockets. Compared to that effort, removing the tie bar is child’s play.
