Mark,
that sounds great. We look forward to seeing the lineup!
I feel that DH might have had some sketches at the very least of how and where to make changes to the design. In fact, I can't quite see how the glass fuses would have been cast without a plug of some sort - this plug must have been builtl probably by Dick himself. I suppose dropping him a line might produce some answers.
A few years ago, I talked to DH to see if he had any info laying around for the Tipos...... but he had nothing on hand. At the time I had a couple Tipo +s that were just fuses with no wing or stab cores. I wanted to see if he had the wing/stab profile for the larger double taper wing. I no luck finding any info on them until I was able to get my hands on another partial kit.
As far as the fuses go..... up to the Tipo surpass..... The mods were pretty basic. When you see the pics of the fuses, the only noticeable difference you will see is a longer fuse and that the nose is a little different. The wing and stab is where the big difference is between the models.
