Hello Larry... My name is Ivan. I met you at Hondo, Texas several years ago. I fly a Sonerai with a C85-8 yellow with a blue nose I live in Sugar Land a suburb of Houston. Another Sonerai with an A80-8 also flew in Hondo from Phoenix. When you do your alignment, do you level it or do you do it on all 3 wheels or do you make the fuselage level? When you say loaded , do you mean with just you & fuel?
Thanks in advance. Hope to see you in Texas again. In October we have a flyin with 600 planes. Best flyin ever....you can camp. If interested post me off site.
