Great shot of your Sbach. I've got the same color scheme and it is simply a beautiful looking plane! The alignment of your spinner and your cowl makes me curious if mine somehow got down thrust in it. Mine tends to balloon on landings. I'm told this could be from too much down thrust.

That just could be that the plane is streamline&hellip; or I&rsquo;m just use to my late Yak.</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">What engine are you running on your Sbach?I&rsquo;ll take a picture of my later spinner and cowl.</span></div>
