I don't have a close up shot of the fuel bag to show, but it was butt against the FOD screen. I am thinking it conformed to the FOD on take off roll.

Here is a shot of the plane just before taking off. does it look like it has negative incidence? Seems pretty level to me



Thanks

There is a chance this shot is after the nose leg started to uncompress. It looks normal from the sit position.

No need to buy a longer leg, CARF would have supplied the longer pin and spacers. Anyone with an early kit was able to request them.
