Piper,

I can now tell you that you will *love* this airplane. I maidened my V60 today, putting 4 flights on it, and it is a sweet flying airplane. I need to play with props and control throws a bit, and get my engine completely broken in, but it's gonna be fun doing that

I installed my landing gear according to the plans, and am using the wheel pants...and I fly off of grass. If you do the same, be careful as it's pretty light in the tail when taxiing. You could reverse the LG as Halflight did, or drill your LG mounting holes a bit further forward. It's not a big deal to do it according to the plans. Just make sure you keep full up elevator when taxiing, and some up elevator while accelerating for takeoff.
