    I love the single barb pin stripe. You may be seeing something similar coming to another plane around here.

    Go for its Josh!

    Well got her up today! rain/snow and low clouds. My first impression is OMG she got off the ground way quicker! Cold day, pilot only, swear it was only 100'. I am very happy with it. Good day!

    How did you support the airplane when you moved the main gear?

    It’s the same gear. However, a couple of us have taller than normal spring gear

    Did you require any additional weight in the tail when doing the W&B?
