I have to give you guys credit for pushing the scale envelope to the extent that you mount a scale type retractable tail wheel in this plane. With the long tail any weight back there will likely make a need for some nose weight. I'm doing a few things here and there, but the not so large wing on this fairly large plane is keeping me in check a bit.

I got my Sierra retracts last night, and they look great! I can't wait to get them mounted and see how they look. Thanks Darrel!

I also got the OS 1.60 mounted. As mentioned earlier, the aluminum backed spinner I got from Dave Platt is a little smaller than the cowl, but I don't think it looks too bad mounted up. Here is a photo. I'm still working on the spinner nut, so the cone is just stuck on.
