One other thing, I had to add a bit of weight to the tail of my other Venus with an OS 91 FX with the engine sitting at 6 1/4 inches forward as per the instructions. Is there any problem with moving the 120AX back toward the firewall an inch or so to help with c.g.? I realize that the cowl has to fit so can't go hog wild.

I just used a dremmel tool and enlarged the openinggs in the spinner for the APC 17 x 6 prop. Works great. I solved the plastic screw problem by using ones with a phillips head to keep the screwdriver in the head and then pointing the threaded end like a pencil. Now they search out the blind nuts in the fusalage just fine.
