  Yes and as you remember I told you at Arlington last year that Jim
was a accident waiting for a place to happen as the engine
installation was a compleat abortion and in addition to that he had a
aft CG problem and he would not listen to me about it and I told him
that it would be prone to stalling and spinning in the event of a
engine failure, then a couple months ago on a taxi test when he
lifted the nose wheel off the ground the nose came up and with full
stick forward he could not get the nose down and it stalled at about
ten feet off the ground braking the nose gear and one main gear and
damaging the hull. He repaired the damage but I do not know if he did
anything about the weight and balance but you would think he would of
at that point.
