Dunno, it wouldn't take much of a rigging change to make a

Oh?
More up elevator would probably do it for starters. There's only
enough
to get you to crit alpha, no more, thats one reason why power
helps,
it
increases the authority of the elevator

Bertie
True... I was only thinking of rigging n the fly-straight sense,
not
elevator -- duh.

This particular airplane seems to have weak right rudder -- 10
knot
x-
wind is more than it can handle in a slip -- rudder is to the
stop,
while left I can easily stay straight banking much more steeply
(this
is in approach, so left turning tendency is not a factor).

Yet the airplane appears to fly straight...

I suppose it's asking alot of a 44 year old airplane for
everything
to
be in perfect harmony!

A 44 year old anything.



Hey...I haven't been in perfect harmony for a LONG time :-)


unless you count eveything falling apart in equal portions as
harmony!

Bertie
You might just have a point there :-)


i've only got one part at a time faiing at the moment, fortunately. I
suppose my time will come..
