Just started my kit tonight-

Thanks for all the info about the stab. It looks like I've got one of the later ones since the first 2 ribs are ply. The carbon tubes were a tight fit and required a bit of sanding and polishing to go all the way in without too much effort. The rearward (long) tube was about 5/16" too long and had to be trimmed. I'll probably put some ply inside the fuse at the stab mount, too, just to be safe.

My question today is about the down and right thrust: specifically, how much have you guys been reducing it? How does it fly after reducing the thrust? I will be using a YS 1.40 for power. I haven't installed the crutch or engine mount box yet and I'd like to reduce the angles of the plates rather than shim with washers after installation.

Any info will be appreciated-

Thanks!

Tony
