Yep. Already have the longer CF gear/pants from another project, and the ST only increases wing loading on this airplane by 1.3 oz/sq.ft. With the huge increase in power loading, I think it will be a "fun fly" kind of power available, and using flatter pitch props can keep the overall airspeed down, while enjoying pretty much unlimited vertical, I figure.

Of course, the battery will have to be at the stab to get her balanced, but what the heck? It's a "fun plane".... that COULD be a serious pattern bird, though. It is surprisingly neutral and very well behaved.
