RE: Dave Patrick Edge 540T - Problem with elevator setup
Well Guys, I figured it out. The problem that I was having was a matter of the incidence on one stab not matching the other one. A friend came over to night with a fresh set of eyes, and we resetup all the connections to the elevator control horns with the elevator servo in the center of the tray. With the leading edge of the counter balance lining up with the leading edge of the stab on each side, we thought each half was even.
WRONG! When looking at the trailing edge of each elevator half, there was noticable difference on how they lined up. I put a Robart Incidence meter on each and realized that the right stab was off. WE adjusted the stab and now both elevators move the same.
The problem is that there should have been a mention in the instructions to use an incidence meter on the stab before the elevators are glued in position.
Thanks guys for all your help and comments.
