OK guys, I'm leaving the trim at neutral and balancing with a half tank.
(Splitting the difference)

I'm seriously thinking about putting a retractable nose gear on. However I know absolutely nothing about retracts. What kind would be the best? How about a cross between "the best" and "the cheapest"? If there is such a thing. For you retract guys it's no big thing but this would be my first plane with them. Can you say SCARY!?!?
