I noticed that with My new wing too. Sink rate is faster but floats more in ground effect. That could be because I come in faster with the new wing because it sinks faster. Another thing I noticed is the CG range on the new wing is way bigger. With my old wing 25lbs max in my rear baggage compartment would make it fly nose high and be all squirrely in the sky the new wing you hardly notice the extra weight. These small airplanes will talk to you .

Who has first hand experience with this and what does it really do? All I hear is it makes the airplane more stable in flight But what really does that mean? My airplane does not really feel unstable I don't think. But I have nothing to compare it to either. Does it help make it fly strait and level hands off? I sure wouldn't think it could help any with side to side rocking or anything or do much in turbulence. Let me know what you all think. Thanks TJay

You should come next year

what a fun trip guys by far the best flyin I have ever been to. 1126 miles in 14.26hrs flying

that lower right corner between the trees would make a nice air strip.

I used grey lexan from wicks. 2018 to 2022 and still looks great

That sounds nice when you get yours I want to see some photos

I Like my model 1 they are fun.

hey thats a good idea i like that Jim.

Bout as easy to replace the entire tube there.

Not sure on that one I will check next time I go fly.

that will be a fun build

Oh no you running outta projects Jim, Having to build other peoples airplanes haha

I think more getting use to the fact there is no more flying $10,000 avids and kitfoxes out there.  Me included the numbers don't seem near as big today as they did 2 years ago. But it does take time.

nice airplane like that should move.

When guys Stretch the tail In these airplanes does it increase the the amount you can put in the luggage compartment because your tail is further back creating more leverage to lift or does the increased weight of moving the tail back further decrease the amount you can carry?

I said to my wife if you help sand it down each time we can keep staining it but if you give up im buying paint

5 miles from me a town called Ireton IA.  he is a Nice guy and a friend of mine

Good friend of mine is thinking bout selling this and I don't really need it. the fuse was covered by Stacy at there factory the wings need to be redone but everything looks pretty good from what I saw. Has dual wing tanks and comes with a fresh 503 from Rotax rick that was redone years ago. Engine has been stored in heated garage i'm sure the seals are ok. He said he has paper work from when he bought it from Stacy. Not sure on price yet. This thing should go to a good home before I end up needing it.

Ah Man I would love the opportunity to be a DAR

What do you guys know about the tandem ridge runner I have a friend that has one of them and wants to sell it Its in the kit form . Are they still in business I know all the specs on the planes  but just wondering if they are any good?

Also has a protech pt2 all in pieces?
