I just got back from flying. I moved CG a little back and I made my first hand lunch (by my self)
I flew about 20 feet and than I added full power and went for the sky. I dno, was it the CG or the wheel pants (just added) but the airplane didn't handle as well as it did last time. I flew a couple of crazy circles and found that the plane was weird. I couldn't handle it!
I got into a little panic. I slowed it down and came for a landing. There were gusts of wind blowing the plane and I made a rough landing. [&:] Checked at the plane and saw that the rudder had came apart from the fuse! [:-] I think it was because rudder's tailwheel got stuck in grass. The wheels were totally bent. And I had to go home... WOW! The wheels seriously suck! Everytime I land I see how the landing gear bends etc... I will just cut off the wheels and I will see... I think it also was a problem with CG because last time I flew it normally but this time it was not normal...

You have to take off the tail wheel bracket too for grass landing. I modded that too for no gear grass landings.
