Ok, what do you do if your left wing is heavier than the right? Do you screw the eye bracket outward or inward? hmmmmm I should know this....
It seems my wing has gotten "heavy" on the left ever since I repitched the prop. I use to be able to let go of the stick and she would fly level. Now she drops to the left. Thanks,
Dennis

Could it be torque induced? If it started after repitching, what
else could it be? If so, it should change with rpm changes.
Sounds like you got your Rotax running. How so?

There are many things that happen really fast when you are
flying an airplane. There is no sense in rushing any of the others.
I would much rather be looking down at the runway, than up at it.

Not sure about the pitch setting making the difference...maybe I just now noticed it. It pulls down to the left at all rpm's.
After flushing the tanks with $250 worth of thinner, I got the gas to be clear the way it is suppose to look. GAS DOES NOT CLEAN THE TANKS, or did not for me after 80 hours. I have run about a couple half tanks through after the cleaning with two cans of seafoam. I cranked once after letting it sit for two days. Still experimenting. Will run another tank full through to see if no problems starting after a couple days again. It may look like "problem solved" if she cranks!

I also think that if it's an incidence problem,
it should still vary with airspeed, and possibly
stall to the right, i.e. the right wing should stall
first. I maybe off base, but it's just my thoughts.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you enging woes...
