Good analysis av8r... when I wear out my 22s I’ll look at the 29+ tires.

No everything is great, but I'm sure I could land even shorter if I wanted to land tailwheel first. Normally I land in the 3 point attitude which can yield a 200-250' rollout if I'm light. I am usually at a forward CG which is not the best for the slowest stall speed/shortest landing. I upgraded to the larger elevator during my build (this elevator is standard on the SS7). I recently added gap seals on the elevator using heavy duty clear Gorilla tape and I can notice a difference in elevator effectiveness.

I haven’t measured since I put my 26 ABW on. I was at 13.5 degrees. I’m probably at around 16 deg. Now

I was right at 13 deg with the Desser 22's, stock 3 leaf tail spring and a Matco 9" tailwheel. If I go with 29s for next set of mains I'll prob be back around 13 deg or so.

My 7SS with the Shock monster on 26" ABW and T3 Tailwheel spring sits at 14 deg. I just put 29"s ABW on so it may have increased a small amount. I'll check.
