ok remember that skylark i was telling yall about? well it doesnt have the roll i want so untill i get the wing for it ready im gonna take the wing off my avistar and use it on the sky lark (pictures to come) now, the wing chord is shorter on the avistar than the skylark but i can fill the gap w/ card board... the only other problem i think ill have is that the skylark has a flat bottom wing, while the avistar has a semi symetrical... how well would it work? im gonna be going out thurs. (today october 2nd) to try it...

Did you also use some rudder with the aileron? Usually, an airplane of that type will roll quicker if you also apply rudder in the same direction...
Try it up high for the first few times and see if it works.

If you want the plane to fly with a minimum of problems you will need to do the following:

1. Make a saddle to fit the Avistar wing to keep the wing from shifting in flight.

2. Secure the saddle to the Skylark.

3. Mount the wing and check your incidence (shim as needed ). MOST trainers have a 0 degree on the main wing and a 0 degree incidence on the horizontal stab,

If your incidence are off you will have "an interesting" flight.

i did use rudder, it helped a little but not much, and even my instructor said it could use some more roll. but thanks for the tip.

Before you change wings. try increasing aileron size and throw.

When you change wings on a plane like that, just remember you're playing designer/test pilot. You have to be ready to run the risk it will crash on the first flight, and be prepared for some possible wierd flight characteristics. Probably won't happen if it's well thought out and executed, but just a heads up. I've been there, done that, and still haven't graduated from the school of hard knocks.

Like DR.1 said, increasing the size of the ailerons is the best option to start with. It's one of the easiest mods to make, and rather painless. Besides you shouldn't upset the apple cart with it. Just remember, flat bottom airfoils are not the best for aerobatics. If your to that point in your flying and have mastered the basics, then you may want to consider a secondary trainer like the WM Sky Raider Mach II.

Which hole in the aileron control horn is the pushrod connected to? If it's connected to the hole farthest from the aileron, or the middle hole, connect it to the closest hole.

OR use a larger Servo Arm and conect it to the outermost hole

actually the trow was at maximum... and i flew it and had a vast over all improvment. im thinking of recovering both w/ matching trim and using the avistar wing from now on...
