Well It's done. She's ready to fly. I hope flies half as well as she looks. I'm concerned about weight. She's coming in at 8.2 lbs. with a Magnum .70 up front and I had to add 7 ounces to the nose to balance her. I have retracts which added to this weight issue. I have well over 200 hours in this thing and want her to fly so badly! I can handle "enough" power to shoot holes in the sky. I don't want to do unlimited vertical or crazy aerobatics just putter around and look good.

I have other planes for that sort of stuff. Am I in trouble with this weight and engine combo? Aside from putting a .91 FS in it, what else can I do except go full throttle and take off?!

My stallspeed is going to be decrease a bit correct? Enjoy the pics!
