Gents,
I've recently fitted by gear fairings (was amazed how much difference
they made to speed and looks!) and I'm finalizing the aircrafts trim.
I have found at slower speeds with any sort of power I need a squeeze of
right rudder and at high speed/cruise I need a squeeze of left - makes
sense to me. So I've fitted (with tape at this stage) a Vans style
"wedge" that suits cruise speed...works OK.
The problem is the ailerons. It flys wings level with the ailerons
centered but to achieve that I need to apply some right stick force.
I tried squeezing the trailing edge - didn't seem to help much.
I really didn't want to put a tab on it. Any tricks and what's the
gouge on the type of tab to use??
Cheers
Tony Blair

I'm curious if anyone has any experience with these prop governors.
I've
got one installed on my IO-540, but haven't yet run it. It has the
advantage of being a few pounds lighter than the standard one and is 2
inches shorter, improving my inlet ducting a lot.

Further to my last post...
I read someone squeezed the aileron on the heavy wing - I'm sure the
book says to squeeze the light wing, did I f... this up?
(I would have sworn the roll was worse after I squeezed it!)

Its the light aileron you squeeze!
Take a piece of wood put it perpendicular on the trailing edge then Gently
tap wood with hammer on heavy wing aileron and it should take out what you
squeezed.
Been there done that

PS ailerons are VERY sensitive if they get hanger or airshow people rash on
trailing edge that will affect WILL affect trim

I remember "light wing thinner".
I used a caliper to measure the trailing edge thickness at 1 foot intervals
on the aileron trailing edge. By making the trailing edge the same thickness
on both sides, it corrected my heavy wing.
Measure twice, squeeze once? :-)

Jim Ayers
