Shepard, It is looking good!!! I havent checked this thread in a while and havent seen your post. Just keep on swimming. I have gotten past the issues with mine. Got the polycrlic removed with turpentine, the landing gear moved forward 5/8 in (All the room i had on the plate) one of the Nimh glow batteries removed (overkill on the onboard glow) and moved the remaining glow battery into the tail in front of F6 with the reciever battery. With a little bit of a high idle, she is now a dream on approach and landing. Probally close to 50 landings now, and the nose over issue is resolved. I don't know how much weight i removed in all, but it behaves beautifully. Rock solid on turbulent days and a joy to fly......Will try to get some video and put up here eventually. Keep working on yours and don't loose momentum! Steve
