Hi Jim,

Thanks for your words of wisdom. By the way, would it be a good idea to shorten the nose moment and move the firewall back about 1 1/2 inches to keep the plane from being nose-heavy? Also your views about:

1. Replacing the plastic turtle deck with wooden bulkheads and hard wood stringers?

2. Cutting out the foam areas between the wing capstrips to lighten the wing?

3. Reinfocing the fuselage structure at the wing leading edge area.

4. Beefing up the landing gear mounting area.
