Hi Mirko,

I did realise I would have aft problems, I have put in a 6" rear cushion on both sides and a 4" bottom cushions, putting pilot arm back to 610 mm. I am also very careful with putting any weight in rear baggage area. I did think tho that the engine mount should be longer, but I really don't want to be going down that road with new cowls etc. Maybe bolt a lead weight to top of engine near dipstick? Anyway, would like to call but am OS for next 3 months and only have scratchy internet. Maybe later? Let me know how you go with this.

Cheers

Darryl

Hello Phill, I do - as you can see from the image, I have modified the rear turtle deck so as to incorporate a rollbar setup. I'm planning to add rear side windows after all my fly test have been completed. How'
