Mark I visited with Troy last week and got a good look at his airplane. I'm pretty sure he told me his HS is now 6 inches wider per side than it was and he made his VS match. I have some good pictures of his airplane that show the tail if anyone wants to see it. He even gave me a demo flight, him flyin and me on the ramp watchin. That is one fast little airplane.
