Default RE: Skymaster F-86 1/5 first products

An FYI for everyone with this jet....we are at 410 mm on the CG now ( a LONG way from the recommended 340-360 mm) and we will move it further back for the next flights. Using the stock tanks. I also took apart and shimmed the nosewheel to extend it further so the jet would sit more closely to level while on the wheels....before this, it was noticably in a nose low attitude. This shim was a huge inprovement for takeoff and rotation. FWIW.....
