RE: SAP 180 (Syssa Performance)
Matt, got it all re-taped this morning.
Also got an accurate measure of the coupler gap for the aluminum spacer, and it is exactly one inch. For those using the Macs header and ES 30G, that makes it easy to figure out for the 33-1/2" distance plug-to-pipe-end (body of the pipe, not the stinger).
Will get a chance to fly again Thursday and am expecting good things. It has been a bit frustrating at times, but thus goes the learning curve, especially when taking on several new twists at once. All that much better when everything is sorted out.
The plane has a bit of a pull to the canopy on downlines (w/throttle at idle) and I am thinking of taking a little incidence out of the wings... one turn of the adjusters to start out. The CG seems to me to be perfect.
