The wing is carbon fiber (a really good deal on carbon prepreg fell in my lap a few years ago), the elevator is also carbon and is about 2" longer than stock, I switched to a center stick, and I have 4 fuel tanks for a total of 100 gallons. |

A total rework of the rudder pedal system. |

Aileron Bellcrank - I moved the aileron bellcrank out to the wingtip to make room for the fuel tank aft of the spar. A 4" dia. tube runs the length of the wing and passes the aileron push tube and possibly some wiring |

Elevator Comparison - My elevator is carbon fiber and about 2" longer
than stock. A stock elevator is shown for comparison.

Landing Gear - I did a flox release around the gear and steel strap
bolts onto the release to lock in the gear. I left room for a 1/16" strip
of rubber to wrap around the gear so the gear can still flex around slightly
with the bolts full torqued. The rubber also keep the flox pad from being
point loaded.
