OK Guys, got this in the mail. Nice piece. Beautifully made.
Here it is new in box:
Now - do I paint it to match my base fuselage color (Daytona white) or leave it black. hmmm...

My vote is leave it black. That is a durable finish and grease will not show up so badly.
Got mine and love it! Thx for all the pireps!

So far it works quite well. Smooth as butter on the rough stuff. Taxis just fine. However, the geometry has me a bit baffled. Seems to have quite the positive castor angle (good for shimmy I know), to the point it tilts significantly when turning and in general just seems a little wobbly (as I'm pushing it around with the tow bar). See pics. We did put the provided shim in. You folks experience this as well?

I put a 1/2 inch aluminum block under this one.
Pete your right, the plane loaded with pilot and fuel will sag the suspension slightly making a better caster angle.
