Hey Paul, just a thought, but this might be a good application for Michel's kitfox
model in X-plane.

Sure! Send me the data and I'll try. Sorry, I haven't followed the thread closely, I need to know what you want as surface to test.
Cheers,

Michel,
I know nothing about X-plane, but what we are trying to find out here is how a Kitfox IV will perform if the standard Ribblet 32 ft wing is cut down to a 26 ft span. Flaperons will also be cut to fit the span length, extending to the wing tip just like a Kitfox Speedster.
The specifics on the airplane I plan on doing this with is; M IV-1200 912ul, IVO IFA 68" 3 blade prop, electric elevator trim, 3 false ribs under the leading edge between each rib bay, ribs in horizontal tail surfaces but not in vertical, wheel pants, fairings on wing struts, jury struts, horizontal stabilizer struts, and radiator scoop fairing. Oh yeah, has the Hoerner style wing tips (not the droop type).
There is dispute here on the forum as to whether the performance with the short wing will be better or worse than the Speedster, so the performance information we are most interested in finding out is top speed increase , how the climb rate will be affected, takeoff and landing distance, stall speeds, and roll rate increases.
So whatever you can do to help us answer these questions would be appreciated.
Thanks for offering to help Michel.
