    The last minute rigging adjustment paid off. Feet flat on the floor with a push of the stick every now and then for most of the trip.

    Last stop before Sun & Fun was Perry Florida, an old WWII military training field.

    Made it into Sun & Fun. My folks are on the front row of Vintage and I got the 3rd.

    Can't wait to see everyone. Got some hats and some ShortWingPipers.org stickers.

    Meeting lots of interesting people. Met a lady today who bought a Clipper in the US and flew it to Finland. Trying to get here to post about her adventure here.

    Pre owner screwed a trim on my rudder, I took it off and I really like it much nicer flying without it, but I have to rest my foot on the left pedal with the tiniest amount of pressure on it, what was your last minute rigging adjustment? I may show up at SnF, would be nice not to have to rest my foot on the L pedal, if I dont the nose wanders right and the ball is about one ball left.
