We first flew our CH601HD with bare metal for a few months in 2003. Then
it was (professionally) painted, and large pieces of non-skid material
were applied to each wing root. They have not deteriorated at all in 4
years, but the aircraft is hangared. There was no change to the cruise or
climb speeds. We fixed our slight heavy wing problem very easily. We
added a fixed (but ground-adjustable) trim tab to the right aileron; it
was about 10 inches by 2 inches, bent down slightly about 20 degrees.
Since then, the aircraft flies hands off. It is NOT necessary to change
the trim tab with 1 or 2 people in the aircraft; it has remained the same
since we first installed it.

Thanks John, Sounds good .Where did you locate it on theaileron. ? and if
you put a tab on the rt. side at 20o down why couldn't you also put a tab on
the left aileron at 20o up ? , wouldn't that balance or split the load
between the two ailerons? Also what do think the bottom line cause is for
the heavy left wing is? It seems to be a common thing,and why to the left?
do you think that wing walk material can really cause that effect or any
thing like low wing, left or right... Thanks Joe N101HD 601XL/RAM
