Warren, I want to thank you for taking the time and effort to mail me (us) your drawings, etc., for removing the hat shelf and installing the extended baggage. I showed everything to my AP/IA and he went directly to his microfich and it did show the factory option as a "Family seat". He went on to say that this option already has an STC approval from the factory when the airplane was built. This STC is now owned by UNIVAIR. Since there are parts involved with this installation, you MUST have PMA approved parts or he would not sign it off. I then contacted UNIVAR and told them we had a considerable number of Alon owners who wished to make this change. They got back to me and said they woud consider making a kit for this change, that included copies of the original STC approval for installation IF (Note the caps "IF") we could get together and order enough units to make it worthwhile. At this point, I would like all the ALON owners out there to contact me with their name and address if they are interested in this conversion. Remember, the more we order, the cheaper the unit cost will be. This is another consideration UNIVAIR wanted us to take into account. THEY WOULD NOT be interested in making three or four units. I would think we could get 25 owners together to get this job done. I could not take anyone with me to Sun-N-Fun last year because I had to belt in my baggage to the right seat. I would like to consider the Y2K-2000 mile trip next year. I need the baggage space sice I do not cherish wearing the same clothes for the entire trip! Let's DO IT ! George Frebert
