EF Extra 260 480 trim question - 5/24/2008 11:09:48 PM

Status: offline 		I've flown my E Flite Extra 260 480 a couple times now and it flies great, however I have to add several clicks of L aileron to trim properly. When I put everything together, I used a square to make certain the horizontal and vertical stabs were at 90* angles-or so I thought.

After the second flight, I re-measured everything and noticed the vertical stab has a slight "lean" to the left. It's apparently too late to do anything now as it's CA'd in place. Could/would the vert stab leaning left a degree or two cause the plane to bank right slightly?

Pick up the plane by holding the spinner and tail. If one of the wings dips every time (the same one, of course), then ad some weight to the other one. I used different size screws until I found one with the right weight to balance the wing. I simply screwed it on the edge of the wing and that solved the problem.

This solved my problem.
