Most of us have been doing this since they were 7 or so, then kit-bashing old model airplanes into something new.
For the serious addict, there are now CAD modeling tools that will spit out lift numbers and drag coefficients almost instantly.....sometimes I wish I was 20 again and my ol' brain could learn these things!
for now, I'll just say I'm on board, as I am looking for a 'sport' bushplane. Seems most have 32 to 35' wingspans, so Bill's right......I'll have to stretch my -9a wing a bit....maybe extend the fowler flaps to 40+ degrees, droop the ailerons too!....hmmmmmmm gotta get another napkin!......... beef up the ribs, and skin it with OraTex fabric eh!?

I really like that stuff I can't wait for the Feds to certify it so I can use it on my taylorcraft I'll take some 30lbs off the plane
