Default RE: rolls right


ORIGINAL: michael wood

ok checked for wing warp it has none also checked the and measured the stabilizer it is real close iam thinking the wing saddle might be off if that is not it guess i will adjust the left aileron up a little i will let you all know next weekend michael
OK, also check the rudder. A high wing, flat bottom wing, with trainer-like dihedral, will bank on it's own when turned. Check to see if your rudder is straight.

Also check the engine thrust offset. You will probably see some right and down thrust. If you have a small engine on her, this thrust may be too much for the engine to overcome in torque.

A horizontal stab wrap can also cause roll. Check for that as well.

Move the control rod to horn connection on the ailerons one hole closer to the wing to increase the throw on ailerons. This should give you enough throw to overcome your roll condition, but does not address the cause. It may make slow flight with low power settings, as in landing, a little more challenging.
