    Default KF6 to S7 FWF EXTENSION MODIFICATION INFO SOUGHT

    Hello,

    Does anybody have info on the s7 fwf modification process for a series 6?

    Basically, I would like to start this build completion process with the best results in mind for the end product.

    Does the FWF extension of the s7 increase cargo load capacity?

    Besides the extra space for installation of an engine and its components, what are the other additional benefits of doing this?



    Thanks,

    Jeff

    From your other thread:

Speed is the same as is performance based on my flying around with Desertfox4 and his Series 7.
    Please lets not start multiple threads seeking the same information.
