In Response To: recessed rear deck (Mike Dangelo)

Dang! I bought my kit just three months ago and it doesn't have the recessed deck... Kinda wish I didn't hear about it! I'm jealous! ;-) ... I'm just about to glue my deck to the hull, so just for fun, I sent Pygmy a note asking if there is a way to retrofit my "OLD style"(!) AT with the recessed deck. I don't think it'd be TOO hard. Looks like I'd have to cut out the part that gets recessed, cut the two pieces that are glued at the deck peak, and re-wire them... Might need different coaming pieces too. Probably risky and not worth it, but the lower deck looks cool and would be easier to roll with (as if a newbie like me will be rolling anytime soon). Any thoughts?

: it also appears pygmy changed the design to recess the deck at the cockpit.
: Did this present any problems on the AT 14 since it has the recess?
