Default RE: Maidened Bobcat - problem

Buck,

Once I got it trimmed, it flew GREAT! Took me 4 minutes to get it in trim (wasn't expecting to have to keep adding ail trim). P-60 is a superb little engine and a 22 lb Bobkitty is still a 200 mph airplane even with the little engine. Put 9 minutes on it and after landing the 16 oz header and the UAT were both still full, gotta love that!

All, Thanks for all the ideas, tanks were sucking evenly and they're pretty much on centerline anyway, so can't see fuel causing a quarter inch trim requirement. Weighed the wings on my postal scale and they're within an oz of each other and the rest of the equipment is pretty much on centerline. I'm off to Wallops Island, Va tomorrow to do 3 weeks of Reagan Combat Systems testing, so won't have a chance to check the incidence until I get back but will probably give BV a call while I'm in Va and see what they have to say.
