 |

Well, I have about 7 hours on the airplane and have sorted out the heavy wing and elevator trim.
For the elevator time, it looks like it was just me, I was not expecting that much nose down trim. I checked the rigging and I am now comfortable with it. Over the next week or so, I will be adding weight, simulating co-pilot and passengers and that will be the proof that it is right.
The heavy left wing had me a little concerned. I flew a couple of times and re-rigged the ailerons. It seemed to be getting better, but not consistent. So I started back to making sure everything was lined up. Measured angels of wing tips, ailerons and flaps……..oh flaps. My right flap was not all the way up in the reflex position! I noted that I could pull up on it and it came up into position……so I did that and went flying……problem fixed.
The root cause is that I was having some contact between the flap and fuselage. So I got the file out and took a little more off the flap and got it to more easily move in to position. Adjusted the linkage and it looks like it is fixed. Flew fine yesterday. Got four hops in yesterday working on the flaps and trim. Beautiful day in Utah, looks like another good one today. I think I will finish up my work and head to the airport.
