Arch, i think you are right on, and you presente my argument a little better. Finding a solid midle ground between the Voodoo Express which is on one end of the design spectrum and the old missles of the past is key to the ever changing pattern. An example of this is the Aries, outstanding aircraft for the sportsman, intermediate and beginning advanced bu with the larger wing on it, soon becomes a hinderance. Still, a simple wng change and you have entered a new dimension with the same airframe. this is an interesting concpt that someone could use to save a bunch of money in the long run if they tke care of their equipment right?!?!? Just plug in the changes to the basic airframe needed to fly the sequence or conditions. If it is windy, smaller wing, increase the loading and help the plane sit. Call up the appropriate radi program if the mixes are different and fly.

hmm, another wild idea from the hawaiian shirt.
