Yes I am. So far they are working great and I see no increased slop - yet.

Only in America mate, more civilized on the "right" side of the pond.

The Yak sure floats my boat.

Good to hear. Keep us updated on how they last. I am am leaning towards putting those in my 100cc as well. I may try a couple on my 50cc aeroworks yak as well.

I am very excited for these planes to arrive!

Bodywerks, did you end up running the stock (supplied) tail wheel? If I remeber correctly that thing was built like a brick **** house. Maybe a super lite tail wheel allllllllllll the way back there could do the trick for CG? Sorry but I just dont see you straping a cresent wrench to the motor box....What about on older heavier spinner like the TT ones or maybe a three blade prop? Oh yeah that girl needs SPADS>>>>>> I will bring you a set of donor wheel pants on my next trip through AZ..

The tailwheel assembly weighs 2.8 ounces. I can get an aeroworks CF tailwheel and save maybe an ounce. But you are right - an ounce that far back will save me 3-4 ounces up in the nose. The weighted prop washer is about as far forward as I can get. Unfortunately, my friend couldn't find it. Hopefully it will turn up.
Ok, so we got some video but I had to use my crappy camera and my crappy thumbs - just wasn't feelin' it today. Still got some cool stuff. However, I have been having troubles getting the vids uploaded to my computer so it may be a while before I get mine up.
A couple other guys had cameras out there that shot some short vids with so maybe they will post them.

And I thought I was impatient.

Ah, more proof that FG is just one big, happy, disfunctional, and abusive family.
