To all concerned,

First of all I did not get into this blind. I have been building models for quite some time. There is foam in the airplanes that Gene built. The entire tail is foam. The reason I want to make the wings foam cores is to simplify the construction of the wing. I weighed a wing panel that was built by Troy Built and it weighs 2.7 lbs RTC. I then weighed a wing from the 40% Godfrey Extra 300L that is foam core and 3 " longer that I built and it weighed 2.7 lbs RTC. This is the only major change that will be done to this plane!!! I am very focused on keeping the plane light, but with the way the wing is construted now it is very time consuming and would be impossible for someone to try and build it as a kit. It has to be done on a wing jig. I am very aware of the popularity of the airplane and how well it was selling, so it would not make much sense to redesign everything. The fuselage will remain basicly unchanged. The landing gear plate is the biggest issue that I have experianced. Dont be so quick to judge me. Give me a chance.
If you have comments good or bad please email me directly. I want to hear what you have to say!

Thank You
