Thanks for the info Rick. I would highly recommend all new builders check their
tire balance after they assemble the wheels and tires, other wise they will have
to do it later.
I bought a piece of 3/4 steel rod and turned it down to fit the bearings and placed
it on a pair of jack stands. I never even gave the nose fork idea a thought,
great idea.
I ran out of room to place the 1/4 oz weights so I went to a truck tire place and
was able to get 1 oz weights. I ended up with 6 oz's of weight on the first
wheel I did last night. I will add the duct tape this morning.
Thanks again
PS Does anybody have any suggestions or experiences with the bunny hop thing??

Does anybody have any suggestions or experiences with the bunny / crow hop thing??
yes and don't do it . very hard on the gear,tires,wing struts,engine mounts,prop,tail
skid,seat cushions, pic butt,windows and air frame. not a thing for an
inexperienced person to try. chopping power at the wrong time leaves you 20 +
feet off the ground with adverse effects :)

A dance craze from 1952
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunny_hop_%28dance%29
In aircraft the same (I think) as a crow hop - taking off, flying a very
short distance (just a hop) and then landing again.

Bunny hop is a crow hop that's furry instead of feathery.

do not archive
Major difference between the "crow hop" and the "bunny" variety is that the crow
lands on his FEET.

No shortage of smart asses here.
I have done a bunch of those...most of them weren't intentional.

It seems like you need to have the friction block and bellcrank in place to
find the exact location of the holes in the instrument panel.
Can someone give me the approximate position? I am laying out my instrument
panel and want to know what area I need to reserve.
Thanks,

handle in the panel?
Don't cut metal based on these but the original holes in my panel for the
rigid throttle rods shown in the plans (which I didn't use) appeared to be
symmetrical. Both the copilot and pilot-side holes are 4.5 inches over from
the lower corners of the panel and 3.75 inches up from the lower edge of the
panel.
Some people like the throttle design in the plans and some don't (go
figure). I didn't with a Rotax 912 as the springs on the carbs make it hard
to get the friction just right. I went with a vernier throttle on the pilot
side and no throttle on the copilot side. Since the cable from the throttle
to the firewall is flexible I also gained "flexibility" in the placement of
the throttle on my panel. Life is full of compromises.
If you are installing a Rotax and go with just a single throttle there is a
throttle from McFarlane that splits into two cables at the panel. Joe
Spencer installed one and his initial reports were positive:

<http://www.mcfarlaneaviation.com/Details.aspx?ID=11744352&Article=199>
&Article=199
This allows you to eliminate the linkage/mixer rod forward of the firewall.
