8178,

I like the looks of that, although because it is different in many ways, only a flight test will tell how it acts in all axes during flight. One thing to remember is that the wing area is rather small (approx. 880sq.in.), so try to keep all mods light....if the trike gear adds significant weight, you might want to ponder adding a bit of wing area....maybe add 1-1/4" or so to the chord of the wing...that would give you about another 100sq.in. to keep the wing loading down.

If I can provide you with modified templates, I'll help in any way I can.

Good Luck,
Mark
