Default RE: Rolling Problem

Looking at your first picture I'd say the beer bottle on the left float is causing your problem. [sm=lol.gif]


Really though, if you look at that first picture it looks like you have a warp in the wing, of course that could just be an illussion from the picture.

One way to check for a warp is to make up a special tool to check it. Cut 2, 2 " squares out of some scrap ply, then drill a hole in the top center 1/4 " down from the top for a dowel ( I use arrow shafts ) and insert the shaft through the hole all the way ( making it look like a hoe ).
Now take the tools and place one on each end of the wing ( at the end ) with the dowel end sitting on the leading edge of the wing and the hoe end sitting on the trailing edge just short of the aileron. NOW > stand back away from the end of the wing and look down the wing ( level with the wing ) The dowels should line up, if they don't you have a warp.

It's crude but it works. Sorry I can't do pictures. ENJOY !!! RED
