    Default Model 3 speedster 1050 conversion

    I am in the process of converting my model 3 912 80 horse into a speedster 1050 with the help of my A&P brother. I have the model 4 clipped wings already, I have the cowling and windshield, electric trim, Factory wheel pants, My question is I am going to be using the original flaperon mixer until next year $$ when I convert again to a 1200 classic. Any safety issues or thoughts ?? I know I am going to have fabercate new extension rods from mixer to flaperons. I dont mind the adverse yaw I like keeping my feet busy.

    I respect and appreciate your info

    I think there are some issues with the butt rib cap strip attachment and skylight with increasing the Vne of the model three. Also some flaperon balance/flutter issues of the three exceeding its Vne.
