Default GP Pitts and BME 50

After 5 flights mine was back in the shop. Needed more right thrust, needed the CG moved back a bit, one wheel pant was splitting open, I reinforced the firewall and a couple of other minor tweaks.

It's been raining since I fixed it, so I dont know how it will do now. I had a 22x10 on it, swapped it out for a 22x8. I will keep that until I've got a few gallons through it.

Need to land it hot, it falls out of the sky when you chop power. Mine also balooned a lot on landing. I'm hoping moving the CG back will help tame the landing.
