The MkIII is a significant change from the MkII. With it's 6" main fusel
age tube and 6" wing spars=2C it is quite a bit different than the MkII's 5
" tubes.
Beefing a MkII up=2C or converting a MkII into a MkIII is no simple task!
!! I mean......it's not easy like converting a MkIII Classic into a MkIII
Xtra!! (LOL)

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the input. It sounds like I won't be upgrading anytime soon.
Sincerely,
Duane
