Guys,
I could use a little advice.
I have recently finished rebuilding my AcroSport II and I have started flying it. It flies well but it has a tendency to roll left requiring a bit of right aileron to keep it level. In the full stall, the right (port) wing stalls first. This tells me that the port side has a higher AoA. I’m not talking big numbers, I think it is a small adjustment.
I have rigged it according to all the info I can gleen from the newsletter and the Acrosport build manual (for an AS1). I am confident that the centre section is properly rigged, equal dihedral on the two lower wings. I worked hard to get the AoA on the 4 wings exactly the same but depending on where I measure, I get small differences.
I want to slightly lower the AoA on the port side and I imagine using some washers between the I struts and the wing. My thinking is that I will need to add some washers to the lower front I strut bolt and the upper aft bolt.
I was also thinking that maybe I simply need to tighten the front flying wires on the right side to pull the leading edge more but I am worried about over tightening them.
Can anyone tell me why this wouldn’t work or suggest a better idea?
Thanks,
Chris
