<DIV><SPAN class=458244019-19032003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>I've also seen several folks that have added fin / rudder area.
And if you're running a DZ, you might want to shift the engine box back a
bit to get the CG closer (mine has an OS 160 @32 oz, and I moved it back
about 1/2 inch for very good balance). It also made for easier cowl fitting,
as it now slips over and mounts through the fuse sides rather than flush on
the front with the blocks and such. HTH, Chuck</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
