 Posted: Fri Oct 24, 2008 4:33 am Post subject: Flapperon setting |
 |
|
According to ZAC the inboard flapperon part is to be set on the same plane as the top of the wing, basically zero degrees from it.
I'm told that there are a lot of Champs and Cubs that through trial and error the older A (at) P's found that setting ailerons in a slightly negative position would give them another 4 or 5 mph over the zero setting. I wonder if anyone has tried this on a 701?
As the flapperon in the 701 is set for the outboard one to be a bit negative with reference to the inboard one it is already slightly negative to the wing when the inboard one is set 0 to the wing. So I'm curious if this would make any difference?

I'm sure when I set my flaperons, I used a strait edge off the trailing edge of the wing and pulled the outboard flaperon up until its trailing
edge touched the strait edge. The inboard was then set a few degrees lower. Is the outboard really on the same plane as the top of the wing?

Bob,
I recall that this subject came up before so I suggest you check the old
zenith-list archives. If I remember correctly, the factory suggested not to
deploy a negative flapperon angle. What works on another plane, with a
different wing and flap/aileron will not necessarily work on a 701.
