Default RE: my cub flies a lil funny



Hello kyle,

You no doubt have given this matter a lot of thoughts before asking for help (ideas).

You already assured yourself that the lateral balance was good before adding 2 oz to the left wing.
I do not think that was a proper solution.

Other things to think of are ___
Warped wings. Can be checked with a good incidence gauge and can ususally be seen just by eyeballing the wings.
A fin that is out of line with the longitudinal axis or is warped. Again it can be eyeballed.
The lateral symmetry of the wings. Is the left wing longer than the right thus producing more lift.
Same as line above for the horizontal stabilizer.
Any nonsymmetrical curvature of the fuselage.
Too much right thrust in mounting the engine.

What else can I think of ???

Let us know if you find something along those lines.

Regards de Zor
