MA,
Did you move the landing gear plate forward at all or did you modify it in any way? I'm thinking of moving mine forward 1/2 inch as I fly off grass and the field is sometimes rough and can get a bit long between mowings. I plan on doing this to avoid nose overs.
I'm watching your build closely as I have just finished up the top wing and am starting the bottom wing tonight (I like you, am building the wings before I build the fuse).
Thanks for the great build documentation!
Scott.
Moving it forward is probably a smart move. I've put a wedge under the back edge of mine to tilt it forward, which helps. Also, I installed a 16 oz. tank (just cause it fit, I guess). I'm going to take it out and put in a 12 oz. which is way plenty with an OS91 four stroke. I'm going to move some equipment back to try and get the cg near the back limit. My hog is just on the verge of flattening out the spin. I'll probably dink around to where I get it to flat spin right into the ground.
