    Well I have again been watching all Alenas' videos there.
    I was wondering if Mike had got there.
    I wonder if Mike can reach out to have a chat with Alena and a look over her aircraft.
    I can imagine the conversation, we could get 3 more knots with some carbon over the wheels and 2 more knots from aero-ing the spars and more lift from carbon wingtips etc.
    The conversation would be a masterpiece perhaps even the 2 families as a group chat.
    Can you imagine Mike taking Alina up in draco or scrappy or turbulance etc.
    The 2 people that have each done more to promote private aviation than anybody else, talking together.
    Respect to you all.
