Default RE: Wing Alignment


ORIGINAL: 426miller

Focus is cork-screwing to the left in loops. I have adjustable wings to work with. Can someone tell me if my thinking is right or wrong. I'm thinking left wing needs to be raised at trailing edge and right wing lowered (view from back of plane). Does this sound right or am I backwards?

thanks for any input.
I've set-up four different Piedmont planes and they all had issues with wing panel incidence being identical. You might want to check wing panels for accuracy by sticking a short tube between the panels, bringing them together and taking a close look at the whole wing. The tips must be tracking identically or you will have problems. Then check incidence of each panel (on fuse) and make sure these are identical to each other. Then proceed to the stab and do the same. Don't assume the any of the panels (wing or stab) are accurately built unless Dave himself did the set-up.
