Osprey 2 modifications

Hi Gang:

Any real world results from the modifications to the basic Osprey 2
plans? Specifically the fuselage stretch and the increase in wing span?

Just wondering about the benefits of these modifications.

I'd be real careful about a wing span increase. Without knowing the
particulars of this mod, it's real easy to increase span and consequently
decrease safety margins as the bending moments go up.

Hi Ed:

This is why I asked the question, I've followed the Osprey 2 for years
on and off. Recently I've read a lot of references to the two
modifications that I mentioned, I was wondering just how common it was.

There is a Osprey project that has been sitting idle here in town, I've
heard it has some deviations from the plans. I should go have a visit to
see just what he has done.
