Default RE: RCM Piper Seneca

Here are some photos of the built up wing, notice the lightening holes in the nacelle crutches. Care must be taken in lining up the nacelles properly as the engine thrust angles are very important.

Steve, can you please post some photos for us on your new bird? As for flight charachtaristics, when trimmed properly, my Seneca flies like a low wing trainer, very stable. Landings with flaps are a dream, but if you do not have the plane balanced properly you will notice the plane will porpoise down the runway if it is tail heavy. As far as dropping a wing, it will stall if you try to take off with minimal airspeed. Ask me how I know.
