Hi Grant,
ELT is mounted behind pilot seat (there is a picture of one on the
desertfoxsquadron web site).
I did not do any rough W&B on mine before it was completed. I did not know
that you were not covered yet--probably wouldn't do much good to weight this
early.

Yes, 4 times in the first 120 hours, even though I flew a BD-4 800 hours and
never groundlooped.
The problem, as I saw it is the CG is too far behind the axles. I turned the
landing gear legs around so they slant back. This moves the axles 3" toward
the CG, and it want a long way to solve the proble. In fact, I now do nice wheel
landings, just like I always do in the BD-4. The trade-off is a lighter tail,
allowing more of a tendency to nose over in the mud.

I was able to find the video by using the search function on that site. It
is hilarious. Also look at the guy's eyes who is in the pilot's seat.
I hope THIS link is working.

Hey, I finally got it. The last frame of the pilot looks like my twin (so
the family says).

John,
What was the first scary time?

Roger,
I once landed on a short grass strip cut out of a large hill or small
mountain. To favor the winds I chose to land down hill over trees.
Problem was the end of the strip I was headed for after touchdown
dropped off very sharply, almost to a cliff. I had to quickly apply
brakes as I approached the end of the strip. As the tail wheel kept
leaving the ground I had to release the brakes to keep from noising over
and striking the prop. I quickly realized that I might not stop in
time and seriously considered ground looping at the last minute. It was
a split second decision, but I chose to not ground loop. I stopped just
a few feet from the end of the runway.
Lesson learned, "NEVER LAND DOWN HILL", regardless of the favoring
winds. That was the second scary time I landed downhill and will never
do it again.

I am hopeful someone may have a nose strut brace and elastomer donuts
about. I need the link that goes to the strut and engine mount that holds
the donuts. Need some new donuts as well. I know its along shot but.
