Bob,

It could very well just be me needing to learn. Of all the twin and tripple engine planes I have built and flown this is the first tail dragger. I will cut down low rates on the rudder and try slow rolls. I usually do what most do. Slow start and then try and speed up qucikly to md throttle and then a little faster and head in the air.

I am taking it out again tomorrow and will check the wheels, but I am pretty sure there is no drag on either.

I will get a picture soon. Several guys took pctures of it flying and landing. I must admit it is pretty cool flying by low with the wheels up. I have yet not to smile when I fly it.

I can not wait to build a C-47. I know all the things I will change.

Thanks
Scott
