Help! Need rocket launcher STC or similar

[ConwayB]

Hi there,

I am the proud new owner of an O-2 and have imported it into Australia. It is currently undergoing its certificate of airworthiness and unfortunately I have run into a snag.

I have two replica LAU 68 rocket pods, made out of fiberglass with aluminum warheads. They were sold to me by Don Nieser to complete the whole fitout and to be placed on the weapons pylons.

Don flew the machine with the pods and has supplied pods to other O-2 owners.

The problem is that the regulator here wants to get info on the pods and their airworthiness before he'll sign them off. Don's looking for the appropriate info and I have the O-2 flight manual with the USAF flight limitations figures and have a weapons manual on the way.

Can anyone out there help me with extra information - especially any STC or engineering approval information - that I can give to the regulator so that I can get permission to fly these fiberglass replicas?
Thanks in advance..Conway B www.ipas.com.au. Email: conway@ipas.com.au
