COMMENTS: The Super Sportster 40 MK II is the 2nd version of the Super
           Sportster 40, hence the MK II in its name. The following is a list
           of the major differences between the original and the MK II version:
          Longer Nose: This changed the center of gravity making it easier
           to balance.
          Fuselage: The fuse pieces interlock with each other making a tighter
           fit for better glue joints and straighter, stronger construction
          Wheel Pants: They are more rigid and more secure than the originals
          Rudder was enlarged and the elevator area reduced (this gives better
           resistance to elevator flutter).
