Hope you’re out their flying my friend

The 20-300 was designed without the need for wires that's why the wings are about 2% thicker vs the TOC 10-300 version. I actually had one of the 20-300's built from the factory with the mounts installed in the wings for wires, it made a pretty big difference in how stiff the plane felt in the air but wasn't really needed.

I've got a Billings, MT friend with a World Models Ultimate on a DA150; he flies it old school low n slow. If he tries to fly very hard, it will even pop a connector or wire on the flying wires. There's definitely some flex and stress going on. Although, flying without the wires COULD end in a spectacular wing clap and lots of confetti fluttering down
