Believe what you want but if one is high on the wing and one is low on the wing, they WILL affect the way air flows over the wings and cause the plane to exhibit odd behavior. After all, the reason they are on the wing in the first place is to change the shape of the airfoil to help prevent spin. It would be the same as putting a small amount twist in one side of the wing, it just won't fly right.

Or do the laws of physics and aerodynamics work differently north of the border?

Sure all of the things you listed could cause the problem when taxiing down the runway, but not the stall to the right when lifting off the ground.


As for experience, I am by no means a new pilot as I have flown for many years and have built and flown many aircraft and this is the only one that has had this problem. Which by the way, magically disappeared when they were removed from the wings. Of course I am sure that it was just my experience level that magically improved in the 10 minutes it took to remove them and not the fact that they were the cause. Could I take off and fly the plane before I removed them....YES. Did it take off much better when they were removed...YES.

Just because you don't understand it don't mean that it ain't so!
