I didn't like the idea of using wood screws. I put in machine screws and blind nuts. I think I used 4X40 screws; I flew my 4*60 for years with that size on the gear.

After I wrote that post yesterday I was getting ready for work when I saw what I did wrong. I took out my ruler and looked in the manual to be sure of what I was seeing. I put the rudder horn too high. [&:] Well, that will be an easier fix then cutting out the fuse for the cables.

I'll see about putting on the belly pan when I get off tonight, if I'm not too tired.

Interviews for the pilot position are coming to a close. There was an unexpected entrant that appeared impressive so now it's three in the final push for the position.
