Hello , Im flying a ultra sport 40 arf , And its coupling pretty badly in knife edge away from
the canopy ( nose down ) , Im not sure if its an incidence problem or the aileron rigging .
If so How can I alter incidence with an arf like this ? How much adjustment might be needed ?
Which direction do I need to go ? I cant leave a gap in the wing saddle , Is my problem
somthing else all together ? Im lost [sm=drowning.gif] Any help would be great !
Thanks

Something I notice flying today is the plane has alot of DOWN trim for hands off
level flight , Its very noticeable while sitting on the groud , Could this be an indicator
of the problem ? I think that may be the problem once knife edge ? But the cg
is right in the middle of its range , The book says 3 5/8 to 4 3/8 from leading edge,
Im at 4 1/8 dry , that puts me pretty nose heavy for quite awhile durring my flight .
The plane is already kinda hard to slow down , moving the cg forward
will only make it harder . Any ideas ?
THANKS AGAIN
