I had my firewall back and pinned also.
I can't remember the weight, but it flew great. I used a bit of spoilerons for landing to keep it from floating, worked well.

My G-38 was just getting nicely broken in, running like a charm. I decided to remove it and try a new engine on it just to get it broken in. Welllllllll. That was the day I applied an extreme amount of turf to the nose, it wasn't pretty.

My super running G-38 is still sitting on the shelf and I swear I can hear it laughing at me from time to time.
