Subject: Balancing ES nose gear fairing

Hey ES folks,

Do you have any thoughts on the need to balance the nose gear fairing?  I am in the middle of repacking the wheel bearings and thought I'd check the nose fairing balance.  It is significantly out of balance to the rear, meaning it drops a full 90 degrees when a rod is placed through the side screws holes/phenolic blocks and then lifted.  Make sense?

I've been flying the ES for 6 years with no shimmy, so should I leave it alone?

Thanks,
