The only damage was a slightly bent main gear leg.... Easily bent back at the field (too easily, perhaps....) Noticed a heck of a nose down pitch when the engine quit, though....

Second flight went much better, but still getting a nose down pitch when coming off the power...and running out of up elevator.

Hi Wayne!
So Now you know what I have been going on about and It like all aircraft need a few changes to get It the way you want it to fly
I replaced the Nose and main U/C legs before I even test flew mine as I have had experience with another of that manufactures models. Yes I still have the standard landing gear blocks on mine also after a heap of flights

What I do to get rid of the nose down thing is to have a flight condition set up for landing , As I slow it down and turn onto base leg I bring the ailerons UP about 3/16 -- 1/4 of an inch.. This has the effect of giving it Up elevator trim as It acts like a delta, and you can slow It down for the final approach with a nose High rear wheels first landing . Try It you will be pleased .

Noise has been a problem but after trying a few muffler set ups I ended up with the set up that you can see in the Pic of a previous post of mine . Prop noise Is now the main Issue but I do not think that there Is much I can do about that .
