STG,
You said 'performance is good for me with 11,000 sq in of wing area (UL Giles) Would I like more--sure! ' Should that be 1100 sq in?
[sm=lol.gif] Yes 1,100 sq in[sm=lol.gif]
I mentioned wing area because that is a factor. The lower the wing loading (and better the Reynolds number) the less Thrust to weight you need for 3D flying with some "get out of trouble" power.
