Yea, I saw that the other day, DROOL DROOL. I'm thinking with the proper bracing it might be possible to get to 28 ounces on this thing and still be OK with the wing loading.

I did notice while carrying your out to the runway, that there seemed to be a bit of flex right about the middle between the canopy and tail section. That's why I'm thinking about the CF stuff.

Missed you last night at the field. I was there about 4:15 but we have a good 15mph crosswind with higher gusts so I just hung out. Around 6:00 it died off but as soon as I got airborne it came back so I only got one flight in until I figured it was time to just forget about it.

It really did make for some interesting crosswind landings, 45 degrees to the runway in a crab then at about 10 feet crank it straight into a slip and land. I did take the time while I was waiting to make the tailwheel steerable on the Showtime.

I will not be there tonight. I have an errand to do right after work [:'(]
