Just figured I would give an update....
I went flying over the weekend to test out the shorter tail. As far as handling
due to any CG changes there were none. However, I did not do a great job of
drilling out the new hole. Acutally the hole in the tailpost is not straight,
so I had to enlarge the hole in the tailspring rod so the bolt would fit thru.
I tightened it down and I thought it was fine, but it wasnt. After the first
flight on landing the tailwheel went to the side and there was no straightening
it back to center. The landing was ok and no groundloop but the taxi back
to the trailer involved some whirly doo's on the taxi way. Anyway, learning
experience (and I already cut another inch off and redrilled and also ordered
a new tailspring from Travis.
