Hmmm,
My program letter simply states; N422DT will be flown for SSA badge
flights and regional and national soaring contests within the
continental US. My FSDO has had no problem with this wording for the
past 8 years.

On the tilt up panel, it makes getting in and out much less of a
hassle. It involves re-routing all electrical and pneumatic lines + re-
installing all instruments in the new panel. Costs a good $2000 if you
have it done. A new strut is requierd 1000n I believe.

On replacing the canopy strut in a 19/20...Grind a groove in both ends
of the new strut so a small cable can be fitted around the compressed
strut and held in a loop with a nycompress sleeve. Then lower the
canopy to line up the hole and insert bolt, then cut small cable off.
