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.
