Norm, Thanks for the question. Yes I extended my wings one bay (385mm) and added a 7th rib. I did this in anticipation of using a heavier engine like the Corvair or O-200. I'm also doing away with the slats and using a drooped nose rib that will be longer than the stock nose rib. Several guys on here have been working on the new shape and its just about done. As soon as I get the shape I will knock out a set. Look for pictures in the near future.
Thanks
Vance
