Hi Dave,
 
    No, have not touch the motor = mount as=20 yet.  I must admit my take-offs still are not as smooth as I would = like due=20 to the "P" factor and my left offset in my motor mount.  There is = no=20 problem keeping the nose straight on take off roll (even at WOT) until = the=20 wheels leave the tarmac.  Then the nose suddenly moves hard left = requiring=20 more right rudder - and I find myself lowering the right wing a bit as = well -=20 that I don't like, I want to keep those wings level when close to the=20 ground.  I am certain the wing drop is not as much as I imagine, = but still=20 don't like it.
 
Have about 1 ball right on climbout requiring rudder to = center.  Less=20 at Cruise - say 1/2 ball but still some.
 
No never considered a metal prop - don't believe I could get a = metal prop=20 76x88.
