This is why they are light and strong, Light is a must, for flying performance and to have less inertia in case of a hard landing (strong but not as a Currency Truck (sp?) . Dont overbuild any airplane please... any of us, A light airplane (in design specs) can save our lifes better than a "rolling cage". Saludos Gary Gower Another thing I noticed is that the wing really stiffens up once the leading edge ply is glued to the leading edge and to the ribs. Many things on the plans work together and serve more purposes than just what might be first apparent.

With regard to the engine stopping, I have been having problems with the mixture at idle and I think I have let my idle setting get too low. When I pulled back on the power the idle would have slowed the prop a lot, getting it too slow would cause the prop/engine to stop. As I said before, don't fly unless everything is working as it should. There is "Experimental" and "I'll just try this!"
