I Do Not want something Bigger.

Lots of guys are putting the DLE-20 in a 60" profile ; I Can't Stand those type planes .
I DO like my Extra though ; the Perfect size airplane !!!

Even With the beefed up sheer-web, sheeting in front of the spar and rib-caps, along with
the glass-job on the firewall and landing gear box ; my Extra came in at a smidgen more than
1/3 lb more than stock. the sheeting & tip gates made it MORE than capable of handling that
Lil extra weight.

If Ya Look, the DLE fit's just FINE in the stock engine cowling. You may think i made something
HARD, that shoulda bin Easy ; but I Really enjoyed myself while doing it. And enjoying myself
is kinda important to me ; just because you don't like building then don't Bash me because
i enjoy making stuff.

It Didn't cost much money to Mod my plane. What i Did spend making it DLE ready, i'll MORE
than make up in the cost of Nitro fuel. What's that going for now $20+ a gal and i can go through a gal in
one day . My unleaded gas is $3.80 a gal + the OIL and (ameyam) and myself are getting 18 to 20 min flight
time on a 10oz fuel tank.

The Waco Biplane in the back-ground ..
It's about to get a new covering job ; along with Flaperons for the inboard section on the wings. Add maybe
4oz weight but it will land Way slower with flaps, and Look good doing it. Will also fly better with full span
ailerons.
