Might be safer to use the winch that is on the trailer. I wouldnt recommend pushing on the stab spar. -------- N951EU - Tri-gear & 912ULS, N77EU- Mono & 914 I'D RATHER HAVE A BOTTLE IN FRONT OF ME THAN A FRONTAL LABOTAMY.

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 pivot s are not loose and that the both ends of the flap pushrod are tight. We in stalled 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 t he flaps to raise as much as we wanted. Our flaps drop the same amount, but without a stop, one raises a little mor e than the other. With the stop, it limits the up of the one that raises to o much, and you pull a tiny bit more to get the other to hit the second sto p. 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. Ron P.
