I would not be concerned at all about the placement for the UL. Personally I would place the centerline exactly where the 0200 is and give it a run. Check the weight and balance carefully and go. I ha

Demo Ride Request
I would like to see if we could bribe any Q200 drivers to come to KMIT on the 10th or 11th and provide my son and test pilot a ride in a Q200? He has 40+hrs in the TriQ and quite a bit tail wheel time
