Hi Bob
Sounds great to me. Still would like to know for sure what the STOL kit
does for top end performance e.g. I hope that it does not take anything off
of the top end.

Hi Scott !
I should let Angus answer - I know he has a printed info
package.... Not sure if he's getting mail from this list, though.
For over a year, Angus has been supplying a STOL kit that
adds a cuff to the leading edge, supported by small rib sections,
and wing fences. The fellows who are flying them say they just
do wonders for slow flight performance - apparently the Rebel just
doesn't stall anymore !!
One builder remarked that he had to use his GPS for approach
into 900 ft. (!) lakes (!), because his airspeed didn't read down to
38 mph !!!
The kit is designed to install easily, in about 8 hours, and
costs about (don't quote me - I'm 'remembering' badly ..) $2,700.
When combined with the Dave Fife Hoerner wing tips, you've
got serious competition for a Helio !!
