Default RE: Nuance

The Nuance on pavement is perfect. Both the Prolog and the Nuance roll fine on grass atthe perscribed CG. You run into a problem on grasswhen you try to run a CG forward.
Dana is right BJ flys on pavement. I like Arch have a takeoff condition switch to compensate for thenose tippyness.
Chris Moon is continuing his efforts to get a retro landing gear or have the new models revisedwith less sweep in it. You could retro fit a Gator RC gear into it but that's asking the owners to put out an extra amount they shouldn't have to and it's not as attractive as the stock gear.
It's kind of what were used to with any pattern plane on the market. In the famous words of Rosanne Rosanna Danna "It's always something!!" In this case it's a pretty minor flaw. It beats things like a weak undercarriage support that breaks your fuse in half.
I'm still amazed at the quality of the BJ Craft planes. They are remarkable and light too. Mike
