Focus

[Chuck Czarnik]

Beef up the landing gear block.. We knocked the gear out of 2 of them a
couple weeks ago at Ocala (mine included!)  Not exactly a flying
characteristic, but a zero landing hurts!
 
I've also seen several folks that have added fin / rudder area.  And if
you're running a DZ, you might want to shift the engine box back a bit
to get the CG closer (mine has an OS 160 @32 oz, and I moved it back
about 1/2 inch for very good balance). It also made for easier cowl
fitting, as it now slips over and mounts through the fuse sides rather
than flush on the front with the blocks and such.  HTH, Chuck

	I recently purchased a ARC Focus from Piedmont and would like to
know the modifications if any that can be made to improve its flight
characteristics.  i will be flying it with a YS 140 DZ.
