Hi Denis.

Thanks for your note on the elevator................will look at that to see what I am getting at around 10 / 15 degrees.See you went to Charles aswell !!! looks like we have put the "N" numbers on the lower wing in exactly the same position !!!

Your staggerwing looks great aswell....................like the "rigging wires",will have alook to see how you have done this ( think it was in a post a few clicks back ).

So if all is balanced at the 5 1/2" position,with a reliable engine (!! ) and all the very kind "pointers" from Paul,Russ and yourself,I should be ok !!!

I too have removed the "dummy" cylinders in the cowl,but I have left the "push rod tubes",still think plenty of cooling air can get in and get out...............

Thanks again for your help.

Cheers..........Nick (UK)
