The only suggestion I have is our a/c tries to roll once airborne despite rudder so a smidgen of bank against this helps.

You'll absolutely luvvit!



When this nonsense is over, if you drop me a PM, we can soon sort the heavy wing out if you like. I've done 2 12's and an RV6 and have a dedicated omgomulator to squeeze the ailerons.


' Omgomulator' !

That's got to be a made up word!

:-D :lol:

Certainly not. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes depending on the application. For instance, there's a version which plugs into your router to provide a 3G signal.

Or a version for adjusting the prop.

It's a close relative of the turbo encabulator.

I hate those disloyal omgomulators that you seem to find everywhere these days.

I didn't know that!

I'll order one from a specialist supplier and put it my tool box next to the left handed screwdriver and the tin of rainbow paint.

You shouldn't try using the Rainbow-paint unless you also have to hand a container of Prop-wash, for application prior to painting - and a tin of elbow-grease to preserve the newly-applied coating's lustre.

My last post was Aug 06, 2019:) Only 2h flying since then:(.

I am not flying till the restrictions are lifted so the “exception” must only be some RV's:)

Thanks for the info – will report back.

It seems to be working intermittently.

I'll download it and send by email.

Surely anyone seen flying around in a light aircraft, is giving all of us a bad name. We have to constantly fight nimby’s let alone those that think we are all rich gits.
I am shocked if Buzz’s posts are true ?

To be perfectly honest I believe anyone who would assume said pilots were knowingly flaunting the rules and post that opinion on a public forum together with their registrations is going to stir more sh1* and cause more harm than the pilots involved.

This is such thread drift, but - whatever.

If you are on your own strip, or a private strip and have un compromised access to your aeroplane, why not fly ? The weather is gorgeous. You do more harm with your exhaust than anything else.

Because everyone has been asked (instructed) to stay at home except for 4 specific exceptions[1]. (AIUI these will have a legal basis by tomorrow)

[1] OK you *might* be going shopping or you *might* be travelling to work, but those would be pretty rare reasons for most of us to go flying.

Have you read the 'Sticky' at the top of this forum?
