I flew the Kolb this morning with the 12" bent aluminum trim tab duct-taped on right aileron. Minimal applications of stick and rudder pressure used on takeoff, during power changes, banks and reduced power landing at Truth or Consequences airport. Straight, mostly, and level, mostly, with improved indicated airspeed at throttle settings used previously in this prolonged tussle. Pretty close to where I think it should be now, and am relieved and amazed not to have to use great pressure on the stick. Almost back to the three-fingers days.
Thanks to list members for so many suggestions. Will be back for more of your help I am sure, trying to improve this mistreated machine.
