Hi Rich and others,

This is a very interesting discussion concerning a clipped wing 

conversion of HD wings-- Seems like there is a parallel universe for 

this subject because it's been a subject of discussion on the    

601_HD-HDS Yahoo group.  Mike Stewart and I are flying and comparing a 

tri gear and taildragger 601HDS and Mike raised the question of the 

clipped wing HD wings.  So far we have decided that the tailwheel 

configuration may have as much  to do with stall behavior as the wing, 

but we don't have a HD in the mix yet.  Mike has a set of HD spars 

hanging on the wall but hasn't decided to build them up and clip them.  

I expect it would be a very nice compromise.  Both our HDS models make 

LSA stall speed so an intermediate size wing would bring it even lower 

and the climb performance should be improved too.

 Check out the website.
