Hi Joe, In mine the up elevator reason was nose heavy due to nose gear and thus CG a bit too far forward. If you've built the tail fin for a counter clockwise engine you will need slight right rudder till you've gained speed and your slightly skew off-set (+/- 1/2" L/E bottom to top and T/E) tail

Thank You Bill. I am happy to see the a planned project that my dad and I wanted to do and then I wanted to build the aircraft in memory of my dad but like I mentioned, there are many reasons why I can't. I know it will be a good home. Earl Klinker On 6/18/2017 6:57 PM, Bill Zorc via KRnet

Joe, You forgot about the one for keeping the wings level. But seriously, I do have 3. I have a ground adjustable elevator tab with it deflected down. It was set up for 1 person flight and I adjusted it during phase I testing. I use a bungee cord on the stick for when I have a passenger.

Dear Aviators, I find that i require significant trim tabs.  Did i miss align something?  Is there something that i can do? Is this normal? Significant up elevator and some right rudder for comfortable flight at 120mph.   Joe Nunley Baker Florida  ___
