    Not bad for 29’s, uncovered gear and a giant fat Cub nose.
    Prop is a Sensenich 74/55. Added almost 20 lbs to the nose and airplane still stalls high 30’s mph. Still not nose heavy.

    Lauren,

    Great pics. Was watching your last You Tube post on how you extended the Oratex over the leading edge, the trailing edge and how you shrank the Oratex over the fiberglass leading edge. Think I understood it but if you have any pics of that I would love to see them.

    I feel like I'm watching a movie backwards.

    Looking great Lauren. The Oratex looks great.
