Papadave...

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried swapping the lg around to see if one way placed the wheels in a more forward position. I thought that would resolve the problem. After much consternation, I found that one wheel was binding just a hair and it was causing the plane to want to ground loop. I was concentrating on trying to prevent it from nosing over and ground loop and guess it was too much for me. After I got the wheels on correctly, the takeoffs and landings were as smooth as silk. Now I believe that it is a great plane to fly. Operator error wil get me every time <g>. Thanks again...
