Default RE: Adding Counters to an SSE

Hey SD - emmmm, 11-10 (oops 18-10) my sympathies ...

Things that have been adjusted on the SSE ...
. new tank & fuel lines (to eliminate frequent engine shutoffs during flight)
. new needle, mixture & carb o-rings (see above - this OS 46 AX was purchased on eBay - when will I learn)
. moved the switch to pilot's left side of fuse above the tank (the tank tray was eliminated and fuel tank dropped to the floor after initial switch installation leaving room above the tank and accessible)
. expanded the old switch hole (under the servos) to be able to mount the battery snugly under the servos and added a cover

The plane now balances 3 7/8" back from the leading edge with no weight needed.

Pete W. evaluated the static (neutral) position of the ailerons and believes that a slight adjustment to both in the same direction will resolve the "11 clicks of up elevator" to achieve straight-n-level flight. I'll evaluate the current adjustments before playing with the aileron adjustment.

Tomorrow's weather is in the 60's with 4-5 mph breeze. Hope to share some good results.
