Pappy Bob: Subrau powered JN4D Replica, and Glass goose, The JN4D Replica has been checked for Datum balance, we are real close with minor adjustments, I took out an 100lb system and am installing a Turbo EA-82 with a direct drive at approx. 128 lbs. I moved the front cockpit (PIC) to the rear hole, The center of gravity had been in front, as a single seat. Now it will be back seat pilot in command like the origional, this gives me room to fly another person and also to teach those seeking Tail dragger lessons. I was a Bush Pilot for 7 years on the west coast of Canada after I spent 3 years in Vietnam. I have had several planes, But now I`m settling into some of the good ole seat of the pants flying, and more low and slower to enjoy my retirement. As I build my "Jenny" I am gonna keep folks posted and am open for constructive critizum, After all were all in this for getting airborne and our feet back on the ground safely. Respectfully, "Pappy Bob"
