I'm curious on the performance numbers and specs like wingspan, max weight, tail dimensions and handling on Roger Baalmans KR2S with the extra tail length and the o-235 engine in it. Anything you would do different or change? I'll be starting a build this summer an want to do a 26' wing with the lo
