Thats a good point Perry. The engine is not an important identifier for

the aircraft. Some designers get the heebee geebies over mods the builders
make and insist they register as something else. I personally think this is
a load of crap and the designers need to get over it or out of it if that is
the case. granted there are a lot of stupid people out there, some of which
build airplanes and make stupid mods. that is going to happen in any
industry..look at what people do to their cars. You don't see GM or Ford
coming down on them?

I think it is an important part of the aircraft's identity that it is

registered as whatever it's root identity is. If nothing else it is a matter
of safety. If I am in a lineup of planes trying to get into Osh or anywhere
else or just trying to identify myself it would be a lot clearer to respond
that I was a Cozy than a "Chrissi Dumafloggie Xr- Rg Turbo"  ...the Cozy
will be immediatly recognizable. Safe simple clear communication. So if the
designer does not like that our plane is turbo rotary powered with a
dihedral canard and full retracts.. oh well, get over it.

Dihedral canard ? Chrissi? I think that Nat would prefer that the nameplate
reflected some other name
However in the pattern and talking to the tower what you say is very true.
