I'm interested in the pros and cons of lengthening the wings of my Piet. Iunderstand more wing area = more lift. What are the negatives and howsignificant are they (decrease or increase in speed, other)?Somebody suggested widening the wing center section. What are thelimitations of widening the center section, assuming that you do not intendto widen the fuselage?As an alternative, is it practical to extend the wing tips 12-18" on eachside? What major changes are needed to support the longer wings?Allan Macklem________________________________________________________________________________

AllenIf you extend the center section, you dont have to modify the plans for the sections of the wings. Just be sure to build a right and a left. Forget speed, you cant do much to improve that. The center section will give you more room for fuel.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----
