I suggest you start your pre-flight very early in the morning if you want to get in a late afternoon sundowner flight.

The flywheel appears to be considerably below the C of G, which should sort out the high thrust line problem on the Sycamore. Perhaps you should consider removing the horizontal stabilizer to save some weight though. I'm sure saraf can give you some advice!

I see Pinnochio is just the right size to inspect the inside ofthe blades,just make sure he is out before you start that 912
