fury,

I can't say that I've given it a real comparison as far as the differential goes as I haven't flow it without. It does roll very axial with it I know and my sense is that will improve now that I have both ailerons doing the same thing. When I flew Saturday I had set the differential measuring the travel on one aileron and assumed the other to be doing the same thing. It rolled awful to the right but beautiful to the left so I brought her in and measured both...let the games begin with my radio setup trouble. At the field that day I bumbled through enough settings to get them close to doing the same thing and the second flight was MUCH better! I also sealed mine during the build using some of the supplied covering to make them more responsive. That was Grandpop's tip. Both my ailerons had a slight bow so there was more gap in the center than at the ends of the hinge line which REALLY showed big when they moved down. After sealing they look great and have lots of authority too. It doesn't make a ton of difference during forward flight if they are on low or high rate. Once you throw it into hard maneuvers like snaps and Lomchevaks and such the dual rates become more evident. Those few snaps I did on high rates were so fast the plane turned into kind of a red blur in the sky. When I released she came out inverted and I didn't reaize and pulled the nose up...you know the result, "THIS SIDE DOWN".


Sturtz...I was hoping y'all get a laugh out of that. Got my first hangar scar carrying it around the house to get that picture. I don't even know what did it but I got a small dent/smudge on the turtle deck. I cut a small piece of spare covering and stuck over it but as soon as someone touches it there it'll show again and you know what's gonna happen when somebody notices the patch! I'll probably have to fill it with some putty or somthing and patch it again.

God bless,
