One other point - new Excelleron guys - gently remove and THROW AWAY the steel hinges supplied. Particularly if you're doing the ST 2300. Buy Sig "EZ" Hinges (as they are thick enough to use the slots already in the bird), and they are very reliable. Do the "draw a line with a pencil on both sides of each hinge across the hinge center at it's flex point" thing.

Finally - Don't even bother with a 7" CG. It is FAR too nose heavy.
Hey Bob,

What is the problem with the steel hinges? I'm not familiar with them, is it the fact that they are steel and are prone to rusting or failure?

Thanks,

Ken
