don't know the PC way to say this so please forgive my potential 

faux pas. I felt the HDS was wimpy enough(relative to RVs), but now 

there may be potential for the wings to fall off the XL?


	


It is tough for us Zenair types when comparisons are made to RV's.



The 601 HDS is a 1200 lb max airplane, with a 160 mph Vne, usually 

with 80-100 hp, and a 4 g limit load.



The RV-6, for example, is a 1600 lb max airplane, with a roughly 210 

mph Vne, designed for 150-180 hp, and a 6 g limit load.



So, yes, the HDS wing will look light. The HDS's large spar depth 

also allows the wing panel weight to be kept down.
