Default Second Plane

Me again,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have been convinced. My Extra will stay in kit form for this season

I am pretty sure that I am going to pick up the Four Star 40. In addition to the comments in this thread, I have read around quite a bit and it sounds like this would be a really good second plane.

I have one question though....

I have read that many people due the following modifications to the standard kit:
1. Decrease the wings in length by one rib
2. Extend the Rudder
3. Extend the Elevator
4. Strengthen the landing gear mount
5. Use a Sullivan tail wheel bracket

Can you guys/gals give me some input into whether or not these modifications are suggested?

Again, thanks for all of your time.

Bret.
