Guys,

  

  I think the issue is a matter of degrees.  The former owner of the Polk City airplane said that it took MAXIMUM aileron trim to keep the wings level with only one aboard.  Does any one else have to use MAX aileron trim to keep the wings level ?

Hi Jay,



The question of how much trim is needed on a given plane is all about 

the exact rigging of that plane.  If the wings are a little bit off 

in their angle of incidence this would explain need for a lot of trim.



I don't think this does anything to explain major accidents.  I 

learned in my R/C flying days that a plane doesn't have to be 

properly put together to fly.  It will go faster and "Nicer" if all 

is perfect, but just about anything will fly.  Perhaps you have seen 

video of the flying lawn mower?

All-



I have at times used maximum trim to level the wings.  Then I burned off 

some fuel on the heavy side and reduced the amount of trim needed.  Jay, 

that means it is relative.
