Paul,
Thanks for the pictures. I LOVE the way it's trimmed. I understand that the Aero Commander has a nasty habit of tip stalling when slowed down too much. I've got two of them. One is the 79" version and then The Modaire one. Haven't finished either yet, but both are ongoing projects. I think the Aero Commander is one of the most beautiful airpanes ever designed.
Good luck with your 1st flight.
