Give it up, Fred.

He is making changes to primary structure and claiming they
correct "faults" in the original design.
His suggestions have not been built or tested.
In fact, he has never built and flown ANY airplane.

If he's not putting a claim on it, dunno what is.
Actually, he damned well better put his name on it.
Because it's sure not MY work.

I do NOT recommend these modifications to prospective builders.

All because we violated his cast-in-stone rules of thumb.
