Annual time soon. About 650 hours now, so this year I want to take a hard look at the gear clamp blocks and supporting structure. Caught a Harbor Freight sale this summer, and made up a new set of wing jacks. They insert into welded steel cups bolted to the tiedown point; can't slip.
Need to ready a tail ballast weight. I figure at least twice the weight necessary to balance with longerons level, but probably not the typical big drum of concrete on wheels. Anybody have a figure?
