Hi Torben,

I don't think that changing the stab position affected the roll coupling, but it allowed me to use lower wing incidence.

I tried +0.7 deg. incidence on the wing before, but with the stab in the initial position the plane pulled to the canopy on the vertical uplines, so i had to use more wing incidence (+1.1 deg.) to counter this tendency.

Moving the stab lower eliminated the pull to canopy on the uplines, so i was able to follow Bryan's advice and reduce the wing incidence to +0.7 deg. I think it's the change in wing incidence that fixed the roll coupling, moving the stab probably had very little to do with it and only affected the vertical uplines.
