Cafeen man,

Thanks for the comments -- from you that is a very big compliment. I have learn so much from your site from glassing, making cowls, and forms, to strengthening and lightening.

I suggested nearly the same approach for learning to handle and fly warbirds where typically with all of the scaling that we idiots do, many of us go from 4*s to Thunderbolts with no way to learn. Warbirds fly a lot different. A great method to learn warbirds on sport planes like a Super Sportster is to add weight. Adding removable balast you can slowly add wing loading to learn how that 12 lb 700 sq. inch warbird will handle in the air and on the ground.
