It was always drummed into me the importance of flying coordinated so you don't get into the wing drop situation to start with.I was taught to enter a spin in properly rigged aircraft you need two things stall and yaw.
It was hammered into me your life depends on your angle of attack so know your stall stick position and always fly coordinated in turns .

I can highly recommend this book,i got a copy for research into my modified KR build.
I have it in front of me now and it says the optimum length ratio of fairings put around two dimensional obstacles is 3.7 ....smaller and you will induce flow separation which equals drag....and larger you will create unnecessary friction drag.

One of my favourite flying videos features a Foxbat . Its probably a little boring for most people but i love it,cruising low over a beautiful landscape no music playing just radio calls and bit of a running commentry.
Here we go gents, Strega won Reno this year with an average speed of 477mph thats not to shabby.

I have always liked the Corby Starlet and bought a set of plans off John Corby about six years ago.I had a good yarn to him hes a really nice bloke,unfortunately i'm way to fat for the airframe Hongie it would fit you like a glove .
As Yenn says they certainly have spritely performance ...
