Lord, if that camera used standard film, you wouldn't be able to afford this hobby. Nice crisp images.

Gentlemen, just finished up the cowl with the motor and mount, now, in the correct position. Still don't know how I missed that one. With the cowl on, we will see if the nose pitches up as without. I will continue testing for the perfect thrust angle. Still at 3 degrees, was hoping the 15/4 APC would have arrived by now. Surely with the 16/4 it will need 4 degrees right thrust. Wanting to see if it will need any up/down thrust. Adjustments will just be a bit more tedious with the cowl. This coming weekend looks promising, chance of rain, but the jet stream is going up towards J Dubya's area and is bringing in some warm air with less wind. We will see. Joe

Update: just checked the lateral balance of the wing.......dead on right out of the box. Found the center, front and back, stuck a pin in both centers and hung it off a string. Can't get any more accurate than that.
