Default RE: Can I Produce Washout with Ailerons

Hi All,
Well, after some thought I decided to run with the "up" aileron mod. Each aileron "s trailing edgeis4mm above the top of the trailing edge.

I have had 3 flights with the PC9. It flies beautifully. It is fast and smooth , rolls are very axial ( if that is a correct expression ? ) . I have not conducted anystall tests yet. The motor is new and running rich and I am not keen to slow it down too much for a stall test at this stage.

The landings have , so far been hot. I ran out of runway on my first but with better touch down placemant the last two have been better.. I have been very conscious of the speed during the approach and final and have probably erred on the side of being too fast , but appart from a long run out , OK.

I am looking forward to further flights and becoming more comfortable with the speed thing.

Cheers,
Merlin Man.
