Default runway surface

Good afternoon Franklin.

The runway surface is well manicured short grass. Most small electric's do ok with it.
As mentioned earlier the position of the axel with respect to the leading edge of the wing seems to have an effect on it. This landing gear was about an inch and half in front.. After reversing the landing gear it is about half inch in front. This has reduced the sensitivity bur it still dances going down the runway. Some T6 aluminum is on the order list to be used for a new landing gear to further address this problem.
