Here is the OS-70 mounted in my friends T-clips and the Laser 70 mounted in mine. Have not balanced them yet but using a quick finger test they seem to be nose heavy. I will put them on the Vanessa to get an accurate reading.




I have questions about using expo. I do not have an issue with expo as I like using it. However, my friend does not like using expo at all. Is it necessary to use expo on the T-clips? How good is the amounts recommended in the manual? Did you find you needed more, less, or is it good enough? I realize this depends on the pilots preference but looking for a good starting point.
thanks...
