Bigbird I appreciate what you're saying and I have greased it in several times . Being a Gee Bee it is very pitch sensitive and I find that I have to add inputs by the thousands of an inch .I'll try the down trim Idea next time I go out . I've only had it out twice sofar . Last time I was out I burned about 4 tanks of fuel practising landings .Anyway my landings aren't perfect every time and the rebound damping will really help it stick to the ground . The dampers will easily hide under the wheelpants and are quite light .
