Took the Tri-Pacer down from the ceiling where it has been hanging out since I finished it, put it on the balancer
and it is neutral with no weight in the nose, will be adding just a tad of weight as I prefer a model just a tad nose
down when on the balancer rather than like it is at present. However got a break from my daily duty I wrote to
you about in a PM, so I took it out to the field to just get away from the house for a few hours and ran a couple
of tanks of fuel through the engine to break it in. Didn't want to chance a maiden as I didn't get a chance to charge
the batteries in either the transmitter or in the plane, I didn't want to risk a failure due to a low battery, so now with
the engine running and transitioning from Idle to full throttle without any hesitation, I am ready for the maiden which
will hopefully take place in about another week and a half all going well.
Good luck on your maiden whenever that shall happen.
