Thanks, Steve. ----- Original Message ----- From: Brian Vickers To: rv4-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2007 7:30 PM Subject: RE: RV4-List: VS offset Steve, Don't fold up your tent so fast. I think from your responses there is reasonably strong evidence to support installing with an offset. Jerry I. and Dayton M. both are recent RV4 flyers that have noted the need to hold right rudder in level cruise. Has Smokey replied on this? I am going to call the factory Monday morning and see what they say. I don't want a big trim tab on the rudder if a slight offset will put level cruise flight at nearly neutral. I'll report back on the factory response.

On balance I think I have been talked out of the idea. I had thought that since the later RV are built with the VS offset, it would make lots of sense, but though there was some, there was not a lot of support. Cheers, Steve. ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System on behalf of the London Business School community.

I talked with a guy that =93thought=94 it was a good idea since all the subsequent RV models are rigged with =BC inch off-set. His response was pretty casual. He was going to check into it and get back to me. I had to go out of town on business and so we have not connected up yet. I will call again on Monday morning. I will report back after I talk to him on Monday. Brian N. Vickers, MAI RPA Real Property Analysis, LLC P.O.
