Good question Pam! It's always nice to "talk" structure. I think a great front is the single most difficult part of the structure to correct. Maybe it's because the fore assembly requires length of blade length of upperarm. angle of blake to upper arm lay back and lay in of the shoulder blade The great thrust and follow through of the rear is not always there to support a great front either.

Does anyone have any comments on faults that are very hard to fix, and those that can be fixed/bred for in one or two generations.
