Nice....! Big fan of the Light speeds too. Interesting thoughts on the speeds with the wing....My KF 4 wings flexed considerably as well. I would slow down when it got real bumpy but most of the time I would cruise at 105mph with no issues. I think being eye level with the bottom of the wing also exaggerates it, since you see every bit of movement staring down 13 feet of wing. Great looking plane and awesome videos......keep em' coming.
The new wing has more of a flat bottom the old wing had a huge under-camber the new wing should be better but there is not much difference. you will have to stop by and check it out
Nice video again TJay. Curious what your static rpm is and what your full throttle rpm was at the 93 MPH. My Avid is a good bit faster, 2' less wingspan but a draggier wing design.
Very nice video ! Thank you. Pure joy of flying... I retired from bush flying in Labrador 35 years ago, and I still miss it.

the airplane cloud shadow effect is called a "glory".

Haha everything feels worse when you can see it thats a good point.
Well done. It is nice when the voice audio comes through clear. What are a few differences between this wing configuration and your old one?

I have the concur your thoughts TJ on max safe Vno the foxes and avids. I wonder what’s the better flaperons shape? The flat bottom or symmetrical?
Not sure, I have had both of them cant really tell any difference.
