|
|
When the elevators are bolted together, the Reality Aircraft ( UK) Escapade manual says that there will be a slight twist showing as a 3/4" difference at the rear edges of the elevators, and that this is intended. No mention in the Just manual.
Mine align up almost evenly but I haven't drilled yet.
Any comments please on which way the twist should be, or if it is really necessary ( prop wash?).
Thanks

Keith,
I know others have mentioned
this alignment issue, but who
would have thought that it might
be intentional. I'm going to the
factory in the morning, & I'll
try to ask Troy about it.

| The twist is there for a reason. It helps prevent flutter. Jak |

Oops! I forgot to ask Troy about that yesterday.
Please forgive me. I was trying to remember
the list while we were flying in a Highlander.
Thanks Jak...
