More from the Temco Model 27T Trainer proposal:
"The model 27T is a two-configuration aircraft, in the basic or heavy configuration,
it is a high performance aircraft with flying characteristics approximating those of
first line aircraft, but in the alternate light configuration, it is a relatively low performance
aircraft, easy to fly and with no violent characteristics, which is well within the capabilities
of the 35-hour student.
Change-over from the heavy to the light configuration is accomplished by (1) insertion of a
limiting stop on the engine governor (fuel scheduling unit), (2) sealing off of the high level
fuel tank filler opening, and (3) installation of extended wing tips." "can be accomplished by
line maintenance personnel in from one to two man hours."
