Congratulations Highserria and thanks for the feedback.

Well I got back home yesterday and I'm looking forward to my maiden on the weekend.

In ref. to balance, w/ my OS-1.60 FX, Brisson Pitts style Muffler, fixed tail wheel, pnuematic retracts, I had no nose weight and came in at 11#-5 oz.

I ended up using Sierra Giant Scale 85 degr. retracts w/ 660- Robo-sturts - 3-1/2" Skylite Sullivan tires.

BTW as a comparrison, the OS-1.60 FX (w/o muffler) weighs in at 33 oz.
