Hans S Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I plan on using the Drybread style RG. I'm wondering about anyone's thoughts about making them rotate. When taking off/landing they are at normal position. When just hanging around on the ground parked, they can be rotated so that the wheels are more under the engine. Basically changing the center of gravity forward to avoid back tipping. Probably more trouble than it is worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
