NetHeads, You guys that have flown without and with wheel pants...was there any noticeable difference in the trim required when wheel pants were installed? The reason I ask is I've never been able to fly with trim in the neutral position...it's always nose up, and with flaps I still don't have enough to relieve the workload. I'm thinking about adjusting my horizontal stab down a little to try to get a little closer to centered. I can see how adding wheel pants would streamline the wheels, causing less drag about the wheels, decreasing the tendency to fly nose down, but I guess I'm trying to get a feel for how pronounced the difference is.
I'm still waiting on my crank and heads (they'll be here this week), so today I'm doing airframe stuff, like painting the glare shield flat black, wiring the fuel gauge properly, and swapping out the flap switch to one that is momentary when in the down position.
