Thanks, Walt -- Walt Connelly See http://www.betsybyars.com/guy/soarin.../72-modif.html for Wil Schuemann's description of the many modifications he made to his H-301. The biggest advantage of the Schuemannized wing is its drastically improved performance at high cruising speeds while giving up none of its climbing abilities. Disadvantages? The wings are a little heavier. And of course re-contouring the wings is no walk in the park, but if you like going faster than the other guy... Jack Wyman (Former owner of the "Schuebelle": it's now in the National Soaring Museum).
