Yes, I too did the nose elastomer pack a few years ago. It raised my nose and lowered the the tail.
Peter, you must have the tall gear to be getting 25.2" at the skid. I have the same now after the installing this gear strut. How do you like that composite prop? How much larger is the diameter?

Re: "taller" Landing gear
I believe diameter of composite prop is 8 inches greater.
Beautiful looking prop. I don’t have anything to compare it to so hard to say on performance. STC allows for continuous operation to 2700 rpm. I do run 2500 rpm for fast cruise at times.
After dynamic balancing, runs very smooth. I heard someone say that the very wide blade is good for high altitude ops. I have had plane up to nearly fl180 and it still wants to climb.
