RE: Sig hog-bipe landing gear position...

Finally had the chance to resolve the problem. Seems that one wheel was not rolling as freely as the other and added to the confusion on takeoff. Guess I was trying to compensate for the problem by adding rudder and didn't concentrate enough on keeping the tail down until I built up enough speed to neutralize the elevator. Anyway, flew it today and the takeoffs and landings were free of noseovers. Had a long day at the field because I also flew a 4*120 with an ST G2300 engine. Also had three successful flights with the 4*120. Gentle to fly and does float.
