Default RE: Dropped my Escapade :(

One thing I'dlove to see Great Planes add to their inventory for tis plane is an alternate wing. A tapered, full symmetrical wing to make the Escapade a little more aerobatic.
I am now (after 20 flights) finding the wing to be a limiting factor in this planes performance.
Make no mistake, the Escapade is a fantastic second plane and is capable of aerobatics right up to Sportsmans class but it does take a lot of work to hold inverted with the C at 63mm from the leading edge as recommended in the manual. I've moved mine further back to 66mm and its a little better but she is now very sensitive to trim. If Imove it even further back I think I will find the limit at 70mm. Thereafter I will need a new plane. No biggy because thats the plan anyway but I ove this little plane and if a Wing upgrade will unleach a little more potential then I'd prefer to hang on to her for a while longer.
