Hello all,
I'm a new B-C member, the proud owner of the only Citabria existing in Portugal.
It's a 1969 7ECA, S/N 661, Registration CS-AJC.
I've flown it a lot with my father, when I was a kid, some 35 years ago. I had the chance of buying it in 2008, and restored it to mint flying condition in 2010, and that included a though 2-year local CAA approval of the Milman Metal Spar STC, and an engine overhaul. My local CAA mandates lycoming engines involved in aerobatics to be overhauled every 12 years. So my engine will "expire" in about 7 years with only 600h SMOH, and I'm planning to upgrade the plane to a O-320 150hp.
The only way my local CAA aproves is by means of an STC. No way of doing it by TypeCertificate in Portugal.
I've bought the H.O. Aircraft 7ECA 150hp upgrade STC, and it refers to a lot of American Champion Aircraft Drawings.
Is there any good soul on this B-C club that has any of the bellow listes drawings that is willing to share them with me?
Drawing Title Revision Date
7-1290 Fuselage Frame Assembly G or later 7-31-00
4-1782 Battery Installation L or later 9-8-03
4-1791 Electrical System Schematic M or later 5-29-07
7-1476 Fuel System Installation H or later 8-9-04
7-1289 Engine Installation L or later 8-27-04
7-1289 Engine Installation C or older
7-1289 Engine Installation D or later
7-1288 Cowling Installation B 6-1-70
7-1483-1 Exhaust System C or later 7-17-01
7-1475 Cowling Installation O or later 8-8-06
Any help on the drawings, as well as on any previous STC SA02979CH experience this would be highly appreciated.
Many thanks, fly safe.
