Hello: I finally had my rv6a painted some months ago. I just finished installing the wheel pants, except for the fairings, legs/to fuselage and legs to wheel pants/ I was anxious to flight and thought that I would notice, the increase in speed, and maybe smoother flight? Well to my surprise, what I found was that the plane is not stable now, I had to use the stick constantly to keep level flight... there was no wind, 5MPh, straight down the run way... Start as soon as is airborn, is like a different plane now...Does any one has any idea what is happening? I was very concious, on the second flight, to check that I was not the cause of it, I could not understand why I would, whe I expected the opposite, I have now 90 hours on my plane. Does any one have any idea, or suggestions, I feel I am in a different plane.. thanks bert rv6a do not archive ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:16:36 PM PST US From: Subject: RVSouthEast-List: tie downs Hi: I thought I posted this before. Looking for ideas of what to use, to hold down items, on the bagage compartment. I do not want to pay $30.00 for two, anchors, like Vans sells. I look in home depot, to see if they had something I could used, like a ring, with some way I could anchor to the rib on the baggage section... but no luck.. Any one have some ideas tehy have ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:35:33 PM PST US Subject: Re: RVSouthEast-List: is not the same now....is me? From: Larry Bowen Sounds scary. Unstable in which axis? I'd start with a complete check of the control system. Maybe there is some slop or play somewhere. Is each end of every pushrod secure?
