I called myself checking the position of the boom against the clamp . Will recheck and tweak as needed.

Will update .
Thanks

I had the same issue, it was my canopy rubbing on the gear.

[Richard Rollins]

Haha I know I was too. I still backed the pressure on the transmission a little bit.  Thanks again hope to see all you guys at IRCHA.

Mine isn't quite that rounded but I'm definitely going to check my canopy.

Add Tail Blade shims to the base of the canopy mount in between the frame and the mount. this will shim it out and provide the right clearance. other wise take a towel and ball it up and show it in the canopy and take a hair dryer and heat it up carefully and it should relax enough to remold itself so to speak..

Hey Kevin,

I put the shims in but , new canopy from SICK and first 2 or 3 flights it did rub but fixed it. Then installed the TT which gave me reason to really look at the main gear and noticed the rounding. Its all good now. What day you headed to IRCHA?
