Default RE: Design changes in RC planes

To: RHM- I was not quite sure if you understood my question re: Akro Special modification. I wanted to cut my foam wing from a 2" thick piece of beaded foam. That alters the overall thickness by 1/4" . These foam wings and stab will be sheated with 1/16" balsa. If I keep the same symmetrical shape of the wing, will cutting the overall thickness by 1/4" produce any bad effects? All I can imagine is with a thinner wing it may fly a bit faster and perhaps need a bit more power on landings. What is your thought on this?
