Hi gang: I have the grove gear and as I pull the plane forward on my hanger
floor the gear spreads out and the tires start running on the inside edges.
When I back up the gear straightins up and the tires are running as they
should. I know that this means that the wheels are castered outward.

should stick it on with forward pressure every time. Why? I have read

About sanding. You guys that are still fiberglassing and sanding, try to do

reason is that the fiberglass surface does not conduct away the heat from

Everyone keeps looking at formulas for speed that a prop will give you and
they will never work because they are not air screws. They are air foils
that give a certain amount of thrust at a certain rpm. Thrust overcomes
drag and unless you know how much drag you have you can't predict your
speed.
