[NSRCA-discussion] Focus 1 to 2 Conversion

[Glenn Hatfield]

Pipe tunnel is longer
Removable canopy
Most of the formers where changed to allow for the removable canopy
Reshaped cowling
Redesigned landing gear plate and formers.  At least twice as strong.  Gears snap but this setup does not.
Added a small former to keep the evelator rod from flexing
I dont see any difference in the tail area but my eyes don't work that well up close.

They also changed the elevator and fin as I recall.  Focus II - elevator to 
the tips, Focus ends before the tips.  I am not 100% sure, but I think the 
fin LE was swept more on the Focus II.  Don Sczur would know the whole list 
of changes I suppose.
