Thanks Chad - I have seen all the mail on trimming but not had a chance to read it. To go from 140mm to 185mm I would need 12oz in the tail!!!!
Depending on what the airplane weighs - and what the trimming articles say - I may elect to use a bigger pack and put it fairly far back.

185mm is way back on that wing - and 205mm - WOW you'd need a 120 size engine out front to make it. I guess I went a little too far on making sure the firewall was in there well and used a couple extra oz of Hysol.

As long as it's not so far forward that it's hard to slow it down than I'm not so worried for the maiden.

Maiden is still 2or 3 weeks away here in Edmonton... I think. Unless we get some super warm days.

Everything I built this winter came out way nose heavy for some reason...

Chris.
