Experts:
How are you ideally setting your flaps in relation to the wing airfoil for
initial rig?
Results of your experimentation of various neutral positions?

I am no expert, but I have mine set neutral or in line with the wing tip.

Paul,
i agree with expert Malcolm,
my old TW with flaps set straight stalled like a C-150.
i flew a Mustang II out of rig and one other TW that would roll and dive for
the ground in a heartbeat and leave you
with a helpless feeling for a while.
The passenger in the TW actually grabbed my leg as we dived toward the
ground.
Please do all you experimenting aove 3000msl and let us know the results.
PS; keep it below 220mph, we like you and i am already a wanted man your
wife's refrigerator..
Dennis in Chicago

Dave, Do you have a picture of the vernier screw? Thanks, Eric
the control rod is connected to a vernier screw below the pilot's seat.

Gotta answer this one Paul as I've seen a lot of Tailwinds not quite optimized.
I found a lot of guys keeping the trailing edge too low. By raising it up so
that the bottom of the airfoil on the wing blends smoothly into the Trailing Edge,
you get a faster airplane and an airplane that doesn't require as much "Up"
trim. This all reduces drag and contributes to the speed and climb of the airplane.
I'm not really sure what Dennis was trying to say............... What with being
a wanted man in someone elses refrigerator.. What was that all about?

Paul, hold a straight edge on the bottom of the root rib extending to the tip of
the flap. Adjust flap so it rests on the straight edge. You might have to adjust
flaps so there is differential between them to correct wing heaviness.

Sorry Fred,
i should have explained that after i gave Paul a TW ride and he was hooked, he
said his wife put a wanted photo of me on the fridge since all his spare time
is
working on Tailwinds. This is from a wife that is a pilot and flies a Cub and works
for Southwest!
