Only thing I want to say is the shimming of the motor mounts is ONLY for the
SS. The SS will fly okay without problems without them but -- it makes for
a very heavy stick. Haucks experiences with it were great and my firsts
were also great but it was a very heavy stick compared to what you have when
you shift it up in back. Made all the difference in the world. I used to
take off with most all power and it would torque like crazy. I learned not
to full power it until it was almost airborne. Where the difference is in
say, a fly-by and putting power in or aborting a landing or if for some
reason you MUST climb fast from the ground. Why fight the extra stick
pressure. I will say this again, this configuration is ONLY FOR THE SS, not
the Mks or firestars. Last word on the subject. Ted Cowan, SS 912 UL zoom
zoom okay, one more thing. I cannot imagine cutting the boom of an SS. It
is more than a package to handle being as short as it is. I cannot fathom
what it would handle like with a nose wheel and shorter boom. ouch.
