The strength comes mainly from the shape
and not from robust structure although the
Genesis is, in fact, very robust.

Bill,
I have no idea how an ETA type wingspan would work
on a Genesis type fuselage, but I can picture the amount
of storage space one would gain in the trailer!

There was talk of a garage-able Genesis although
it never got beyond the 'what if' stage. Since the
fuselage is only 14.25 ft. long, with two-piece wings
it could fit. With elevators on the wing instead of
a T-tail, the vertical stab. could probably have a
removable section, simplifying the trailer.

And yes, I was impressed with the video. It's the
first, and I hope the last time I've ever seen a ground
loop. And I'm impressed the Genesis came through basically
unhurt.

Nicely done, Jim Marske!

And Robert Mudd and engineers from Sportine
Aviacija. Robert mentioned in the Genesis Yahoo
Group that SA engineers had added gussets to the
MLG wheel box assembly. Those gussets got tested
and they passed.
