Post Annual Flight check - Video

Short video of my first flight after an annual.

Absolutely amazing how 6 pounds in the tail cone can improve my
landings. I had 45 pounds in the cargo to bring the CG aft. I now
was able to remove all of that weight due to a measily 6 pounds in the
tailcone..

First half of the video has me picking up flight following in KJAN
airspace
Second half of the video has my 4 landings from short final to
landing / touch and go.

Landing judge scores most welcomed!

Can you say what you installed in the tail area? I recall a BeechCraft
approved mod, loosely decribed as a "lead horseshoe shaped weight" installed
near the tail, but remember it being a bit heavier.

That is the exact shape that the weight is shaped like.

My A&P ordered the part, and it may come in various weights, but I am
not sure.

Welcome to mechanics, one of the fun parts of physics 101 as well
as ARM & moment. Gotta love it.
