Thanks for the comments on the repairs Calflyer. And the info on the nylon LG.
I hope to be greasing in every landing from now on. I really haven't gotten the chance to try a regular landing yet with the Edge.
What do you think about using some rudder side to side movement on the final approach to slow the plane ? I've done it before and learned by watching some good pilots bringing in a hot plane in a small area for landing.
Plus ,,, do you think with the changed CG that the Edge will settle better on finals ?

BTW,,, I figured out why my engine quit. On the very first landing she plopped down pretty hard. The brass tube was a mm or 2 too long and the vent hose got sliced in half when pushed against the firewall. So when I went to fly the next time the old Saito pumped all the fuel it could for a few minutes before dying.
