NPW 9b - modified!!

If a NPW 9b could fly upto the zenith, and nose collapse be greatly minimised. Would anyone be interested?
I have test flown my modified 4m, with what I think are good results: It does fly right up to the zenith, nose collapse is very minimal, you can force it by droping the brakes but once you have the balance right it's a mighty job to force it.
I'm now confident about transferring the mods to my 7m "union jack" NPW. If I get the same improvement upscaling, then it looks like the NPW may well be back in the running :-)

Will get some video up very soon.

I would be interested! Don't think they'll ever replace my FB's though but for the 'parking lot' runs and to occassionally mix it up, I'll always keep mine. Just wish they had better upwind....
