Default RE: NEXSTAR TAILDRAGGER ADVICE.....

Finished look. I had to move the battery & reciever far forward to rebalance the plane. So far it seems to be OK. I did come up short of the runway on the first landing and the plane hit the grass. One of the main gear halves was ripped off, but the nylon wing bolts did their job to sacrifice themselves to save the structure. All I had to do was replace two bolts, and place a new covering patch over that area. There was already a slot cut in the rear tail section where I bent the tail dragger steering arm to come out through that opening. I then soldered a threaded sleeve onto the steering arm, connected a horn onto it, and then linked it to the rudder control horn.
