Ultra Sport 60 Wing Twist
Hi Everyone,
I have rebuilt a wing for my ultra sport 60 after a crash a few months ago. I used a great plane building frame to 'ensure' a straight wing, but nevertheless it still came out with a few problems. I have used a great plane laser incidence meter to measure all the angles.
Using the horizontal stab as a reference point the measurements are as follows:
Left wing tip: -1.5
Left wing root: -0.5
Right wing tip: -1.0
Right wing root: -0.5
I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether these differences are going to make any major differences to the plane's flight characteristics? In general what are acceptable variations of incidence along a wing?
Thanks alot!
Mike
