Hello All:

Success with a brace of flights today on 42' of line! Correcting the COG gave me much better handling and far fewer hair-raising approaches to the ground! The first flight seemed nose heavy so I had to adjust the lines for slight up elevator on the second flight. Worked like a charm. Perhaps I need to shave a little weight off the front end.

Engine: Since I moved the engine forward on this tail dragger, fuel draw seemed weaker at startup. I'll probably raise the tank 1/8" or so.

By the way, Lou mentioned Dick Sarpolus above. This is one of Dick's designs. I'll keep a copy of your discussion on component proportions in mind in future projects.

Thanks all for the great discussion - this is truly a "happening place"!
