Default RE: OMP Fusion 67

Mike,
Thank You for the reply and interest.
I ended up adding 1 3/4 oz of lead to the nose (in the handy built-in compartment) and added 20% aileron differential and lowered my 'low rate throws'.

In my opinion if flew better.
Aileron turns were much imporved, it did not have the tendency to drop the wing and the tail was not hanging down nearly as much as before during straight horiz. flight.
In additon, I was able to make landings on the mains rather than a 'tail-down' 3 point landing on all 3 wheels
.
Since I am primarily interested in general aerobatics and not 3D this seem to be a better condition for me.

I am also going to go back and verify my lateral balance just to be sure.
I suspended the Fusion on 25# test fishing line placed under one of the lower rudder hinge points and at the front around the engine shaft so I believe I got an accuarate reading but I want to check it agian to be sure I did not error.

Last time I flew the Fusion I really enjoyed it much more so I think I am on the right track.

Thanks-
Ken
