Jeff Langford of Transport Canada was our guest speaker. He gave a talk on regulations and maintenance of your aircraft. He pointed out that when you upgrade your radio's for example you need to amend your Weight & Balance report. Also if you change the type or model of engine you will need a new Weight & Balance report and Climb Test.
In his summary he said:
Like a traffic light that is installed after a fatal

blood.
Flying and owning recreational aircraft is a
privilege that we can all enjoy safely!
