Weather was crap last year but it was still nice. Had four piets there and really fun times. They close the tower and you can land on about ten miles of grass.

Start the taper behind the rear seat and keep the changes to a minimum. If you widen the fuselage at the front you will need another sheet of plywood, you will also have to change the wing center section width, redesign the upper wing attachment points and then the wing strut angle will be off so you will have to change the lower and upper fittings......also adds more weight. I know other people have suggested doing this in the past. I just don't know who and if it was done.
