For roll trim on my Mark 22, I just did what John Hauck recommended, put a
bungee cord on the stick. Works great for me.

> I'd like to get this straight on the torque. If the prop is turning
clockwise (looking forward from aft) as on my Mk2, then the airplane should
have the tendency to roll left.....is that correct? My airplane wants to
roll left hands off. There is also a tendency at cruise power for it to
dive(without putting in a pretty fair amount of elevator trim) I understand
that as being the result of the high thrust line of all Kolbs and it is
easily overcome with the elevator trim tab on my airplane. If I want to get
rid of the left rolling tendency, should I put the the permanent trim on the
right aileron with the angle up or on the left aileron with the angle down?
Theoretically, it seems the result would be the same.

Howard...... Richard..... Bill,
Thanks guys for setting me straight on the trim. My tab will be permanent (although
bendable for fine tune). I will put it on the right aileron bent down.
Does it need to be in any particular place on the aileron (outboard...inboard)?
As far as pitch trim is concerned, I have an adjustable trim tab on the elevator
that does an effective job of correcting the dive tendancy at cruise power so
I don't think I will mess with reflexing the ailerons.

Jimmy,
I measured the aileron angle change for full flaperon extension. It came
out to be 23 degrees relative to the bottom of the wing.

Kolbers,
I will be visiting in the Detroit area (Southfield) this weekend. Any Kolbs I can
look at in the area?

We pretty much centered ours on the aileron. Seems to me it was about 12" X
4".

Hop the border and we can show you a Mk3, a highly modified mk3 an
original Twinstar and a slingshot all at my airstrip. The Jabi on my
modified mk 3 is installed and awaiting a final check and oil change before
I fire it up for the first time..
