Took some pics today just for fun. Thought some of the 20 crowd would get a kick out of this one. I have trouble shaking this guy in my 29...often. ;-)

It's the flying frogs on the rudder that make the difference! Once those guys start kicking it makes a huge difference. When Dave put them on my ship the L/D jumped 10%!

Owned by the chief frog distributor himself. I imagine the wing profile is better than factory.
Nice rounded spoiler caps!
Tony: Dave Nelson's winglets aren't as large as John Neel's (ie: the former B4).

same-looking handles?

Nice looking bird!

I have heard for John Neel that a 20 with winglets is very close in performance to the next generation aircraft. This sure is a pretty 20. I love the wood panel.
