Thanks for your advice DH. I’ll look into the ESC’s you mentioned. Better to just move on in cases like this!
I’ll fly it without the Tcan today and see if it changes the roll trim. It’s a funny warp, Not really a warp, there’s no twist, rather a change in incidence at the root. I’m not certain about my Hangar 9 Angle meter accuracy and the fuselage “water line” below the canopy edge is not ruler flat either.
I’ll remove the Tcan, move the CG back to neutral then forward again, and trim the wing incidence to get the elevator and ailerons (as close to balanced as possible) centered and then put the Tcan back on.
I did try to straighten the ailerons but they split along the trailing edge. I’ll just try to balance everything out.
Good point about trimming at constant speed. I realized pretty quickly that I am not doing a good job at that! Constant speed, radii, angles, timing. It’s been so long since I really tried hard, LOL.
