Graeme,
You are on the ideal weight and cg at 60 inches. Enjoy.
I install the pins, but do prefer Graham's mod. The pin will hold up in
normal operation, but those who insist on pulling the aircraft backwards
without a trolley, tend to snap them.
I will check if the mod V block alone is available. It works great,
it's simple and rugged. It is not that hard to make from 1/2 inch
aluminum and a metal cutting band saw and drill press.

I am just at final inspection stage but I am not impressed with the
small pin as the limit stop having already snapped it off once while
moving it around. I have seen a better way that looks to be part of the
rod/rudder (graham singleton) mod. I dont want to redo all the inside
rudder, but could I just use the limit bit does anyone know, and is it
through Europa?
Had the plane weighed, by that nice Roy Sears (inexpensive compared to
PlaneWeights) measured 369.5 kg 814.6lb but I dont know if thats normal
or what also cofg 1.534m 60.2"
