Tom Fahy and Mike Cuy have cut out the back end in the middle section ofthe wing for better pilot entry. Does this have any effect on lift ?phil>>>No, but it sure makes it easier to get in & out.Mike B ( Piet N687MB)________________________________________________________________________________

I have mine cut out to the spar. I don't know that it causes a problem. I had to do it to get into the plane. The plane handles well.>>> Michael Brusilow 11/18 1:41 PM >>>Tom Fahy and Mike Cuy have cut out the back end in the middle section ofthe wing for better pilot entry.
