Default Tail dragger setup

Thanks for the info on the setup. I was playing around with where to put the mains, and was worried about it going nose over or the converse it being too far forward and banging the tail hard on landing.

My poor trainer is a miriad of patchwork already. My wife cringes every time I come home, as I have broken something every time I have flown, and put her in the ground twice! That's why it is a trainer though ... and I am a tough case for my instructor. I tell you what though, this sure is a fun hobby.

One of the best things is, it is a great way of meeting people. I am an American Ex-Pat living in the UK, and it has been tough getting excepted into social scenes. It has been great meeting new friends and socializing with the guys in the club. The only problem is I am being taught to learn to fly in the "proper" British way, and they give me a hard time about wanting to fly on the wrong side of the sky!

Thanks for the info ..... Bo
