Making progress.

Around 0700 I received 5 gallons of methanol. I mixed up a pint batch of fuel and headed for Oneco. The new fuel ran as good as the other fuel.
The nose weight in the Ringmaster did the trick. The plane settled down nicely. As I figured it now needs more elevator travel. Once home I removed the 2 ounce hub and put on a 1.7 ounce spinner. Then I installed a shorter elevator horn and played with the elevator travel until it was equal both ways. I went back to Oneco and got in 3 flights using the rest of the new fuel. The plane flys very well. I have to try it on 63 foot lines next.
