Piper PA-20 and PA-22 Pacer family • Proposed “AD” to Replace ALL Rudders on ALL Rag-Wing Pipers

This is my request of you all to go to the below web site and comment on the proposed “AD” to replace every rudder on every rag-wing Piper from J-3s to PA-22s for a total of, by there numbers 30,992 aircraft at an estimated cost of $3000.000 each. Please comment that or less than $400 and three hours time involving no welding, recovering of fabric or painting a second tube of 4130 Chrome Moly can be inserted unto the existing rudder tube which would more than DOUBLE the strength of the existing rudder. Again this solution would NOT require the replacement of the existing rudder and would NOT require welding, fabric work or painting.
