Hey RC - thx for the info. Just spent about an hour on the horn with Pete W. Didn't know that he has built 17 SSEs.

I DO have a incidence meter and now I'm feeling pretty sheepish. I drilled out the existing holes in the fuse that locate the alignment dowel to accept a 3/8" dowel. I glued in plugs, located new centers to drop the trailing edge the necessary amount, drilled new holes for the 3/16" alignment dowel and checked the incidence angle. Both the stab/elevator and the wing/aileron pairs have the same angle. Now they have the same incidence angle.

After my chat with Pete, I am going to eliminate the engine down thrust washers. I am also going to reset the CG to 1/2" further back than the SIG recommendation. For me that will be an additional 3/8". I'm going back to the Zinger 11x6W prop for trimming flights and to help move the CG back.

I'm also going to refit the tank with small fuel line as I've been having "dead stick" issues and the fuel line I'm using is from someone else's work bench. Guess ya don't know what ya don't know until you find out from someone who does know.

Then there will be a visit to my local NAPA to pick up o-rings to refresh the OS 46 AX's carb o-ring, the needle valve o-ring and the brass fitting on the needle valve assembly o-ring.

Now if the wind will just die down a bit - today's flight was with a constant 20+ mph breeze out of the west with gusts. Made a very nice 3-point soft landing - then I packed up and left!

RC: Oh, I do have a 4Star60 wing/fuse kit that needs building. I know that it's not a 120 but maybe, if I bring the beer, I can play with you guys.

Cheers,
