Guys, where the main gear gets located, there are two holes you can see thru the ultracote along with the gear channel. I will eventually make a taildragger out of it probably next year. I did measure CG correctly. The center of the 1 inch range falls directly where the
channel for the main gear is located. I shoulda checked all this at home. I found out at the field because I wanted to maiden it this afternoon. Its a nice plane but I changed out some of the hardware such as nuts and lockwashers on the motor mount and front wheel gear. Blind nuts that are supposed to seat themselves never do. I also use nylon lined nuts on the motor to the mount.
