just picked up this plane from the toledo show.bubba fron lanier is a great guy.what a life he has to do this for a living.back to the plane.from what ive heard so far.ive seen that i should put pull/pull in for rudder to save weight.sand the horizontal ctab saddle to sit flush.and secure the entire canopy better.im using a fox 3.2 motor.just wanting to be careful on the tail weight of this plane to get it right.also would like to move the tank onto the c.g. has anyone done this.any other suggestions before i start to build would be great .ty

My kit that I got last week had some problems you should look for.
The incidence on the wings was way off and in different directions for the right and left. (not good!)
The incidence on the stab was off by 2 degrees
The left aileron did not fit (holes drilled wrong)
The anti rotation rings were not glued in very well at all.
Yours may be fine but I'd check anyway.
Good Luck

damn.....sorry to hear that Terry......after hearing all that as well as what happened to your canopy and cowls, I feel even more upset. Too bad things never go smoothly for us eh? I still hope it is workable enough to put something flyable together?
