clockwise engine rotation, typical of Auto Conversion

accordingly.

* IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING SPECIAL MODIFICATIONS TO
THIS KIT
Please read this section fully. The original design
for this kit was modified in the following way:
A uniform four inch increase in Height was added,
through out the entire length of the fuselage. This
modification produced improved headroom, aft stowage
room, and sideways visability for the aircraft. It
also creates a more robust, potentially stronger
fuselage and rudder.
To accomplish this 4" increase, custom side panels
were manufactured, along with reinforced extention
brackets for each of the verticle side ribs throughout
the fuselage. Custom 4" taller main cage/ wingroot
verticle posts were also manufactured for this
purpose. The Rudder Post section also required a 4"
verticle extention. As the project is completed there
remains several additional sections that will require
special parts or extentions to be produced. These
include:

4" Extention on side lower Kick Panels, in cockpit
area
4" Increase in the upper Door/ widow frames
4" Addition to the Firewall itself is optional, but
not neccessary.
Special Extention of Wing Strut Mounting bracket to
accommodate slightly longer strut lengths.

Some of the other benefitial effects of this 4"
modification are:
The Tail Rudder Control surface is now 4" taller,
improving it's effectiveness
The Cockpit Door/Window section is 4" Taller improving
side visability under wing roots
The Seat height off floor can be increased, easing
long range back strain of original design.
Head room, and knee clearance under instrument panel
improved for taller pilots.
Wings and Prop Center line are now 4" Higher off
ground, providing better clearance.
Unique appearance of aircraft, a much more "Beaver
like" look than the original ultralight appearance of
the first Murphy Rebel design.

Final Notes: Due to the modifications outlined appove,
Murphy Aircraft Company has requested that the
finished aircraft be named something, and refered to
as something other than a "MURPHY REBEL".
It is also worth mentioning that if a builder prefered
to return the project to the original, minus 4" design
format, this could be accomplished without great
difficulty. The completed wings, control surfaces,
upper fuselage and lower fuselage floor sections are
all uneffected by the modification. The builder simply
would need to drill out and remove the vertical rib
extention brackets, and manufacture or obtain through
Murphy two orginal sized side panels, and aft window
quarter panels, to reinstall instead of the larger
custom sidepanels currently in place. The rudder post
and main cage/ wing root posts would simply need to be
drilled out and cut down by 4", then reinstalled. In
terms of total time, the difference between making
these small changes, verses building a main fuselage
all over again from scratch, is substantial.
