Netters, I'm glassing in my canopy this week. I got the gas struts installed (thanks Mark L for the source) and they work like a charm. Also, I peeled the 20 year old protective film off of the canopy and it came off without any trouble. Boy, having a canopy on the plane that you can see out of really encourages those airplane noises!!!

KR> main gear position for tri gear
Hi Guys I am busy building the main gear legs for my tri gear and was just wondering where the other guys with tri gear configs have positioned their wheels with regard to the rear face of the main spar. I am able to get the centre of the wheel about 215mm from the rear face of the spar. I would be interested if all those with tri gear configs and have the info available would send it to me privately. I was looking at John Shaffer's plane and it would seem that his wheels are a bit closer than this. Is there not a standard percentage weight that the mains should handle or is it ok as long as the wheels are behind the rear CG limit. Thanks.
