I am curious as to why my H9 Miss America P-51 Mustang would need a ton of left aileron trim to make it fly level. After it's maiden flight the ailerons were sitting about 3/16-1/4in out of the wing like it would be making a left bank. My flying buddy and I checked everything for square and rechecked the lateral balance and it turned out to be just slightly heavy on the left side which is even more confusing because if it were balanced perfect it would possibly need even more left aileron to fly level. The only thing we could come up with is a possible warped wing. Other than that it flys great, just those out of alignment ailerons disturb me...Any answers or ideas out there [8D]

Pat,

No such problem with mine. Are you sure that your elevator halves are parallel? Sometimes small differences there can have a big effect. That and some form of warpage are about all I can think of. I had an Edge 540 with a warped wing. I bought a Robart incidence meter, which made that pretty easy to identify. It was wash-in, so the resulting tendancy was not banking but rather a sever tendancy to tip stall.

Thanks, I'll check the elevator and incidence

yep, no problem with mine either,..;straight ailerons
