Jannie:
Try one on for size before you fall in love with it. I like KR's but they
are pretty tight for me. I'm 71 inches tall, 185 pounds. I need to remove
the seat cushion to comfortably close the canopy.
I'm also a little prejudiced about large engines. Any aircraft is typically
limited in

I remember reading about ML's experience in an RV6 which sounded very
similar.

A friend of mine took me for a ride in an RV 4 built by himself, his
brothers and their dad. It had a big engine and a constant speed prop.
I don't recall the engine size or designation, but it seemed huge.
While flying the airplane, it felt like I was seated inside a bubble of
alumninum foil
Thanks Glenn: neat link.

Go to this link and try altering the various wing charateristics. It
should help you understand the lift equation better:

Yes. The motor has nothing to do with it. It is a factor of the
structures capability to support the weight.

Assuming you kept the same span and RAF48 airfoil, the hersey bar would add
about 20 percent to the wing area all out at the tips.
The initial rate of climb would go up about 20 percent; the top speed would
decrease about 20 percent; the roll rate would slow by about 20 percent.

oops..I meant to say Angle of ATTACK rather than INCIDENCE.

Wonderful. I have hundreds and hundreds of questions for you clever chaps
out there and if I may I would like to start pitching away.
I am not sure if my previous posts were received so If I duplicate please

Changing the wing will also require a re-visit to the tail volume, as one of
tail's jobs is to counter the cm/pitching moment of the wingWhich I'd
guess the Coco bar wing would have more of.Tim

There's a lot
There's a lot more to it than just mounting a constant cord wing. The airfoil,
cord, incidence, washout, and wing area are probably more important than
constant cord vs taperwing vs eliptical wing planform. The RV series aircraft
use a constant cord wing and I certainly don't think of them as
