Yes Karl,
Thank god for clecos is all I can say. I hold the top on with maybe 30, but I
can go from top on to top off, or visa versa in about 5 minutes. I do that.

igible difference to the relative wind, and in terms of creating an asymmetr
ic lift or displacement vector, that was noticeable, I just can't see it. I'
d go so far as to say you could build in an error that was large enough to b
e visible when standing 10' in front of the spinner, a tail plane error of l
et's say 5 degrees, and it would make bugger all difference. It might even i
mprove single pilot flying with asymmetric weight distribution.

I reckon chasing our tails for perfection is going to only address the glar
ing anomalies, but if your cockpit module was installed half correctly, as m
y kids would say, "just chill".
