  I really believe adjusting the controls to overcome a CG problem does a terrible disservice to a normally good handling airplane.The weight and balance is the way to go. Someone will give you the info you need Lee, How about it Crystal,do you still have that info?

I think "adjusting the controls to overcome a CG problem" is an oversimplification when it comes to fine tuning the Kolb wing and how it works. The normal procedure is to get the CG right where it needs to be, and then fly it. If it flies like it wants to keep nosing up, you can either put a trim tab on the elevator to hold the nose down, or  droop the ailerons. (or flaps) If it flies like it wants to keep nosing down, once again, you can adjust a trim tab to raise the elevators, or raise the ailerons. (or flaps) The airplane responds well to moving the center of lift aft or forwards across the wing and is the accepted way of fine tuning the aircraft for trim once the CG is correct and everything else is suitable.



That is why I modified my flap lever with 3 positions close together at the nominally up position, to fine tune how the airplane behaves in conjunction with the normal MKIII trim system.

Dude: Why don't you scan them and put them on the list? That is something that deserves to be archived, and you would be doing something that many would appreciate! Yeah, it's a lot of work, but still...

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.
