Thanks Jerry-- I want to pick your brain just a little more--You mention the bottom fuse stringers--did they bow on you or are you referring to it just being a soft spot for hanger rash? I do the same thing for my fuel dots and would agree that Stan is the man as far as cowls and wheelpants go. Do you recall how the plane balanced with the Moki? How about setting wing incidence?? Also do you recall if there were any areas you would beef up?? Perhaps some carbon fiber tape or gusseting?? Thank you so much for your input,I really do value it---Isn't it great we have this forum??? Tks Bob
