Default RE: Seagull Decathlon maiden flight

Friend suggested maybe my wheels are pointing outward. I looked at them - and sure enough - the right one is pointing some out and the left tire is pointing 20 deg out. He said to point them in. I was at the field and I didn't have the proper tool to bend the shafts but with some force I got it to bend some. wheels are pointing almost parallel and the left a tad in. I gave this a try today and boy did that make a difference. Ground control became easier and more predictable - still wants to ya left - I still give some right rudder.

But, after some trimming and with new fuel - Cool Power 20/20 Pro Pattern 4-stroke - Wow, it is a fun plane to fly.

I want to put a pilot figure inside - what size figure would look good in a plane this size? when I do fly-by's the cockpit looks lonely.
