Many of the mod's I made had been done before and appeared to me as improving the design. The 24" stretch improved handling, the 0-200 increased power and reliability , longer gear improved the three point attitude, Pipers have been flying for decades with wing tanks only, and on and on. I did not modify the basic structure. The forward deck, fixed windshield, gull wing door , and turtledeck were one of a kind built without plans but there again they were not breaking new aerodynamic ground. 270 hours of grinning from ear to ear at this point would indicate it all worked out pretty well. :-) Larry Flesner
