The engine is cowled in so somewhat of a hassle to take it apart to get to the nose gear. I did think of trying a larger wheel on the nose gear but have nothing the right size on hand. The mains are already worn down almost to the hubs (lots of flights!) so can't go smaller there. The mains are just aft of the CG. With an empty tank, the plane will rest on the mains and the tail.
What do you think about setting the stab parallel to the runway?
