Hi,
trimming out for passenger/no passenger in the Xtra is simply achieved by
applying the patented John Hauck method.
Take a bungee. Anchor one end to the base of the passengers seat near the
door. Take 2 turns around the stick and anchor the free end to the same
place. Use a length of bungee such that there is tension applied
The amount of trim required to take the weight off the stick to compensate
for varying passenger load is simply adjusted by sliding the loop of bungee
up or down the stick to increase or decrease the tension.
I have used this ever since John brought the system to my attention when I
first acquired my Xtra and it has worked like a charm.
Good luck
Pat

what is this end of the season talk,,,, my wife and I took to the air fo
r 1.5 hours yesterday, we left Brigham and flew out around the end of pro
montory point in the great salt lake, then on to the spiral jetty on the n
orth west arm, flying out was quite warm as the sun was coming in the wind
ows, on the way back home it got bit cool. this week is forecast to be
a bit warmer, and we may go again, say Tuesday. we may fly north till we
get cool, then turn back south and warm up before we land. usually I can
find a 40 deg day even through the winter months till it warms up again,,,
I use to go at 20 deg, but I am getting older and wiser.

Richard & Pat,
If you have retrimmed your aircraft in roll for carrying a passenger and in
level flight, what change is there in rudder pedal pressure and the ball or
string slip indicator when flying with no passenger?

My trim tab is not big enough, so I am pushing with the left foot no matter what
I do. Winter project: new trim tab.

Hello John,
When you snapped that line, reducing the area, across the back of your flap
and aileron what were you hoping to gain, or change, and did you get the
desired effect?
I how everyone who reads this post will give what they can, so we all can
continue to learn about and enjoy these great planes!
Thank you for all you have shared with us, John.
Thanks,

Nick C/Gang:
In addition to a bright blue chalk line.;-)., I reduced the area of the
aileron, kept a nice straight line for the trailing edge of the aileron and
the flap. From the experience I gained flying off the test hours on the
factory Kolb MKIII in 1991, I knew I did not need that much aileron on my
MKIII. The reduction worked great and I have never run out of aileron. I
was trying to reduce the load on the ailerons and lighten stick forces a
bit. They still load up at speeds over 65 or 70 mph hour. I complained to
Homer Kolb about the heavy ailerons on my FS. He told me to be gentle with
it and it would roll. He was right.
I did run out of aileron on the factory FF at Lakeland one year. Was on
short final, direct cross wind out of the south, terrible turbulence. I was
slow, but well above stall speed when I hit the aileron stop. Not a good
feeling.
Nick: Do you know Jim Stocker? He has a place on the Knik River, just
downstream from the old Glenn Highway bridge. It is a gravel strip on the
north river bank. I spent a week with him and his wife, Beverly, on my last
flight to Alaska in 2004. The name of the strip on Google Earth is Shelby
Strip.
