Default RE: Modifying the wing incidence


ORIGINAL: Gray Beard

Just a little thinking about this over my morning coffee. Has anyone thought about just lowering or raising the ailerons from zero instead of moving the wing incidence?? A turn or two on the control rods in or out will give you an idea about what the difference in incidence will do.
Just an old pattern pilots trick I was taught.
Just thinking!!
I haven't tried it but my quest here is for a permanent mod to the normal characteristics of a Telemaster40 (don't know why I just have a bug I guess). Assuming I get a successful result thru ailerons I'm not sure how I would translate that into a permanent change of the wing.

BTW:While researching this subject I came across an article on the adjustable incidence on a full size Cessna 172. It never occurred to me that you could mod a full size that way. (It certainly never came up back in the 60s when I was an active pilot).
