Well, another mystery solved. I first want to apologize for contributing bad information.


2slow mentioned that if the lateral balance is off, then you will need to trim out the ailerons, which in turn will create drag and create adverse yaw. As a result, the plane will fly out-of-line. My ailerons are trimmed. And my plane does just that- flies out-of-line despite rudder adjustments. The tail of the plane tracks left. Let me see if I have this correct.


1. Plane is not laterally balanced.
2. As a result, ailerons must be adjusted.
3. Ailerons create drag.
4. Adverse yaw is created as a result of aileron drag.

One last question. The Tower .46 has a large muffler. Will this effect the lateral balance? My intuitions say yes, but please let me know. Also, let me know if I have gone wrong in my post, as I feel that I have. In any event, I want to thank everyone for their input. I feel that I am finally beginning to understand how aircraft operate. Thanks.
