Can anyone tell me why the Vne on the CB-1 is 10 mph slower than the Classic? It appears that the airplanes share the same wings and longeron mods to give a bit rounder fuselage on the Classic. Jut purchased a ground looped CB-1 but it has the spring compressors on the gear. Also looking for a left landing gear. If at all feasible, I'd like t convert it to a Classic.

Realize that neither has had a full engineering work-up, so VNE is what the plans seller felt comfortable with, not anything more or less.Quote:

Beyond that, I'd have to dig out the plans sets.
Thank you Kyle. I had already decided to go with the wood leading edge and for good reason it appears.
