Default RE: Bobcat elevator mix while landing


ORIGINAL: Bob R2

As for the elevator, you definitely need up elevator mix as per the BVM manual when flaps go down. I'd suggest that you use the numbers in the manual and adjust as needed.

I thought Bob said down elevator? So does the plane pitch up or down with flaps?

And I can't find anything in the manual about this (or on the plans) all I see is that it says if you mix in 3/4 inch or aileron "crow" you will have no pitch change with flaps down.

Is anyone seeing this, with crow you need NO elevator mixing at all?

Thanks in advance,
