Desafio 2000 S

[Holzworth]

The latest improvements were lowering the horizontal stab 20 mm , 
changing the rake of the vertical stab and rudder, changing the 
incidence of the main wing and horizontal stab to rotate the plane to 
get rid of the tail low attitude and changing the gear. So far so good.
