Default RE: SIMLA BUILD THREAD

Duane, could you be a little more specific on "no mods"? Would that bein relation tothe shape of the air frame, mechanical changes such as rotating the engine 30 degrees as I did, and/or other changes? So far the only things I have modifiedare the engine placement and the addition of the .254"CF tube to the stabilizer. The 16/24 oz. fuel tank issue is flexible. I' m even thinking about setting up a 20 oz. tank aswell and then experimenting to find the one that suits the Simla thebest. After all, experimentation is part of the research and development process is it not?At this point I am way behind the curve when it comes to flight time( since I have not flown anything since 1975), but hopefully I can get some quality stick time before any such Simla meet takes place. If not, I would still be willing to show up with Simla in hand and maybe have one of you guys fly her.
