Dont judge me! You know you do it too. Anyways, was trying to see if my weight would cause the nose to come down. As you can see she likes being a tail dragger.

From the start the airframe was sitting 2.5 deg tail low and 0.1 deg to port. Not bad for just putting her on there. I jacked up the back of the trailer to get it as near to 0.0 as possible and also shifted the airframe latterly to turn that .1 to 0.0 a
