Hi,
I think I put this Post in the wrong place so I hope this is the correct place.

Hi, I am considering modifying an aircraft that currently has high wings (similar in mounting posn. to the CH701). I would like the wings to be mounted about 4" higher. (i.e. the bottom of the wing level with the top of the fuse.) Does anyone know what difference this is likely to make to the characteristic of the plane or how one can calculate the difference.
Is there a limit to the height of the wing above the thrust line or above the horizontal C of G line. Hopefully there are some of you that will know or at least know how I might find out.

Thanks in advance.
Col
