Each set was made longer=2Cabout 1/2 inch each time. My monowheel is an XS
model=2Cand not the classic so there may be a difference in lengths of the
outriggers as supplied by the factory???

... Let me explain....During landings=2Cafter touchdown=2C the rocking from
side to side of the wings with the short outriggers gave me the inpression
that the plane was starting to turn to one side or the other=2C and I some
time corrected for a turn=2C when there was no turn. It took a while for m
y brain and my feet to come togather in my mind. Before I started flying th
e monowheel=2C I had acculuminated 1000 plus hours in a Pitts S-1-S which I
owned. My perspective of what was going on outside the monowheel during th
e landing roll out=2C was affected by what I had seen in the Pitts.
