Finally got around to measuring the landing strip, 45' by 350'. Corn was 10' tall. Also got the 4* tweaked, it wasn't tail heavy, it was nose heavy. The more I moved the cg forward, the harder it came down. I pulled 2 1/4 ounces off the nose and it comes in gently now with a nice soft landing. Funny thing a couple guys at the field also thought it was tail heavy, but changed their minds when they saw it fly the last time.

Been a good flying season, only cracked one plane from a dead stick, and broke one prop. The cracked plane I repaired and gave to my friend, replaced the broken prop and now have a nice letter opener.
