See http://www.betsybyars.com/guy/soarin.../72-modif.html for Wil
Schuemann's description of the many modifications he made to his
H-301. The biggest advantage of the Schuemannized wing is its
drastically improved performance at high cruising speeds while giving
up none of its climbing abilities. Disadvantages? The wings are a
little heavier. And of course re-contouring the wings is no walk in
the park, but if you like going faster than the other guy...
