Call Kyle at K&L. He should be able to help.

BTW. Nothing in the 1-35 manual. But the location of ballast for CG, not water in the wing tanks, changes spin recovery slightly or a lot as well. (We've had all three 1-35 models.)

Mike,

I would make a steel tail wheel to replace the rubber one. Did that with one of my wing tip wheels to correct a heavy wing condition (a result of a repair)
