"I first flew my Skybolt in 1977 and earned all IAC badges through unlimited with my 180hp version. Teh Skybolt is large enough to not intimidate the pilot during landings yet not too large for competitive aerobatics. It's a comforting feeling to know that the aircraft is built stronger than the pilot during those not so perfect maneuvers. I've flown Skybolts from 150hp through 360hp and all have the same delightful feel. People have attempted to clip wings, shorten/lengthen fuselages, modify landing gear configurations and so on in an attempt to make a great design better only to end up with an unusual looking and flying aircraft. My recommendation is to leave the present design alone and enjoy flying a great aircraft."
