Just a thought here.... (I'm at work so I can't reference the plans right now)... if you go almost inverted, will the muffler interfere with the nose wheel?
The way I was figuring, the muffler would exit the left side of the fuse above the wing. This puts the cylinder between the four-o-clock and five-o-clock position when viewed from the front.

Another mod I was considering would be to use wheel brakes. I used one on a Midwest Aerosport (Sweet Stik clone) years ago. I can't find the type I used back then but it was sort of a spring mechanism that when pulled tight, would grip a drum that would provide braking action. That was fun but I don't know if I want to add another servo/channel. Again, I'm going to try to keep this one as light as possible. I guess I could rig it for braking when giving full down elevator input.

Just doing some thinking...

Thanks!
