Does anyone know what FAR reg deals with major modifications to an  Experimental?  I sure could use some help.  I have several feelers  out, but thought I would contact the list for your input.

  

 I have finished my 601HDS Spring Gear conversion.  As some of you may  remember, I had a weld failure on the left main at the bottom plate that  attached to the 2 inch tube.  I decided rather than reinstall the same type  gear, I went with the spring gear from Grove aircraft.

  

 I have completed the project and have done my new weight and balance, and  completed several high speed taxis along with lifting if off the runway and back  down several times, and so far so good.

  

 So my question is: what paperwork do I need to complete, do I need to have  a DAR reinspect it, or can I make the notations in the logs, is there another  Phase I flight testing and for how long?

  

 Anyway, if anybody knows what FAR reg deals with that, please let me know,  cause I'm getting many different opinions.

  

 Thanks for your help

I don't know which FAR, but you can usually find the requirement listed on your operating limitations. When I changed engine types, I filled out a new Airworthiness Application and sent it along with a letter explaining what I was doing to the local FSDO. In the letter tell them a little about the mod, and explain what you plan on doing for testing. Leave your contact information so they can call if they need more information.  One thing that I wish I had done was send the letter "return receipt" as I have no record of them receiving it.
