Default RE: Nexstar Engine Mount

Hi,again,
Spent the better part of last flying season tweaking my Nextar. After performing a spectacular "ground loop",I had to replace everything from the windshield forward.Replaced everything from windshield forward, moved engine mount[original] 3/32" to left,built in1/2 degree right thrust, 2 degrees down thrust,added two nylon guides to nose gear and replaced n. gear with one having a longer shaft. Also changed incidence on hor. stab to 0 degrees [original from factory was 4 3/4 degrees neg.
Handles a WHOLE lot better on the ground and no longer requires left rudder input on take off.

Good luck, Fredsedno
