BTW, Chris, in the 'Tweety' section, the Stab Extreme is listed as having a span of 25".
For good order's sake, it is in fact 26".

Thanks.

After all, an extra inch can make all the difference in some situations.

Good times at Weldon on Tuesday.
I'm only posting my speeds because everyone else has already been much faster

Nobody's been faster than you with a chevron, for sure.

Way to go, Stu! It takes an incredible pilot and an expert builder to pull off what you did with those wings. Pictures don't do them justice, they must be seen in person to appreciate the workmanship.
