We did a second W&B after the builder installed 20 inch tires for more

It seemed the bottom just dropped
I made what would basically qualify for a first successful flight in a
Zenith Cruzer yesterday. It's first flight landing by the owner ended
in mishap and the second flight takeoff by the owner ended in mishap. I
was able to takeoff, climb to altitude, and land without breaking
