Hi Group
We are going to bring our XS Mono Fuse over to my home this week.
We will set up at the base of my driveway and put on a custom Dolly. The base of
my driveway is relatively level.
Then we need to get it up the driveway: without wings or stabs. The drive is about
a 7.5-to-8-degree angle.
Questions:
** Can 2 guys push a Europa fuse up such a slope? 914 is installed.
** Can you push backwards on the stab spar, 1 guy on each side?
Thx.
Ron P.

Hi Huntcam
Look at chapter 27 and use template for wing and see where flaps are at.
Ailerons can be adjusted up or down.
If flaps are drooping, look close at flap pin/bushing fit, that there is no movement
on the control horn to flap drive tube, that the flap drive pivots are not
loose and that the both ends of the flap pushrod are tight. We installed adjustable
flap up stops. We followed the manual as far as flap pin location, but
the flap cross tube was hitting the back side of the cockpit module. Some mutilation
and BID replacement was in order in order to get the flaps to raise as
much as we wanted.
Our flaps drop the same amount, but without a stop, one raises a little more than
the other. With the stop, it limits the up of the one that raises too much,
and you pull a tiny bit more to get the other to hit the second stop.
For what it's worth, we have our ailerons a little reflexed until we learn the
bird. From what I understand, when you pull positive Gs the ailerons go down because
the pushrods don't flex but the wings do. Not ideal as far as having a
tame bird to reduce effective washout. Met one pilot who drooped the ailerons
on purpose to gain a little efficiency. He said it does work, but the bird spins
like a maple leaf without too much provocation.
