But thank you for the information and recommendation.

If you're retooling the Torus, it would really improve the airframe if the main gear we located further forward. It should balance like an Elan and sit on its nosewheel or tail after you leave it there. My Torus was almost impossible to take off grass esp if the grass was longer or wet which is common at fields around here. It just would not rotate.
i love the Elan and its ability to easily take off grass fields and do nice greasy landings and hold the nose off for a couple hundred feet when landing on pavement.
