Thanks Herb

G'day mate,

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, my bird will be in Normal Category (the same as Standard Category in the US).

The last thing I want is for the machine to be placed in Experimental, LImited or Restricted category because it has to work for its living, as well as being a flying memorial to Vietnam Veterans from Australia and the US in general, and the FACs from Australia who flew with the USAF in particular.

The machine has a glass cockpit and coupled autopilot installed and will carry a cargo pod on non-airshow flights. So it will be used for IFR charter as well as VFR airwork operations. I am re-naming it as the M337/O-2A M-RAP: the multi-role aerial platform.

I'd like to be able to fly with fare-paying passengers and carry the rocket pods... but that is turning out to be a high hurdle to jump.

Wish me luck.

Conway

hharney is on a distinguished road
I knew you were going for normal category Conway but I was only mentioning that it may be difficult to find an STC or Approval because most of the O2's in US are Experimental.

Good Luck, see ya in October
