Hi Robert
Thanks for the compliment and comments.

I would love to put the steel bungee in but I'm afraid I'm reaching my financial limit finishing the plane now. If $400 drops out of the sky I'll be all over it.

BEAUTIFUL! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Only comment, If mine was at this stage I would seriously "consider" the aftermarket spring gismo that replaces the bungee. Note I said "consider"! I'm not sold on it yet but I can't see any reasons other than cost and, in my case, "don't fix what ain't broke" not to do it. I think it only exerts down force on the nose gear when the gear is pushed up on landing and while on the ground. The bungee exerts down force all the time, often causing the feeling that the rudder is "stuck" in the center when flying. Mine does. Also the bungee gives me a nasty "clunk" on landing and this plane is soooo easy to land (hey, my other plane is a 1946 taildragger) that I (claim to) grease every landing.
