Hello All,

Happy to announce that w/ my mono-LG in the retract position w/ 
fuselage in cradle, top all clecoed on, I now have wings (trial mount) 
in place...it's beginning to look like an airplane. I've also been 
introduced to the subtlety and nuance of alignment and pip pins; I take 
my hat off to those who have mastered solo setups from a trailer before 
every flight!

BTW, I've trial fitted my mono-LG and have it blocked in the retract 
position w/ the bottom of the swing arm flush w/ underside of fuselage 
and the top of the 8.00 x 6 tire just kissing the brake cylinder. With 
the retraction lever all the way forward and locked in the gate, the 
wing arm sags a bit when I remove the blocking though there is no 
movement of the lever; is this normal? I have not yet installed the 
bungee cord; will the bungee cure this sagging?
