Default OK! It worked Great!

My poor PT 40 seems back to normal. I took it to the field tonight and had 2 guys look it over and check everything. I raised the front of the plane a bit and we rechecked balances and C of G.
All things were ok. I had one of the guys bring it up and it flew good. however I didn't have quite enough Aileron throw. This plane had that differential throw ailerons and wasn't getting enough down. We also reduced the front wheel steering rate.
He then took it up again. It was good so he gave me the controls. I flew fer a while and landed it.
Then I filled it up and fired it up. I busted off my first complete solo flight. We think maybe with the littler wheels I had, I wasn't getting enough speed to take off. The grass was longer or something.Dunno. Still seems strange that it rolled over so hard every time to the right .
I guess there may be a bit to learn.
I had a gas tonight though!

Happy to hear that you finally resolved the problem. Not sure why it always rolled right, but those tip stalls can be rough can't they?
