Wes,

Great to hear that you've had more successful flights. Sounds like the flapperons help in giving you a little more drag and shorten the landing. You mention that your runway, or runway length used, is in inches. Do you mean that the airplane uses up 787 to 1,378 feet of runway? If so, that sure is a lot of runway.

I added a couple ounces of lead to the tail, but going to do a little more fine-tuning on balancing, likely adding some more lead to the tail, as Al mentioned previously. Here are a couple of photos from three flights last Wednesday, May 26.
