Enjoyed reading this ongoing board on the mini. I've got one in the hanger that I built 25+ years ago one that I'm scratch building that will be ready to cover in just a few more days & one new in the box. the one on the bench I was planing to put a Rossi 45 in it if I can balance it w/o adding weight to the tail. Problem with the Rossi is the head will stick-out the side of the cowl but I think it will get it off the ground at our 7200 ft elevation.
