Well I have a question, My 140 has a heavy right wing. I've been reading and found Art Mattison's checking rigging article, followed it and the plane flys alot better and faster, but the right wing still wants to drop if I ws to go hands off.
So current condition of the plane is trimmed NETURAL as described by Art's write up tanks are both equal and I follow a 15min tank rotation right now to keep plane balanced as much as possible. Yoke is straight and level. So the question is what surface do I force out of trim to solve the issue that will have the least effect on cruise speed?
If i move the alerons out they will only slip stream and move the yoke is what I'm thinking. So that leaves the flaps I'm thinking that I should try to raise the left flap to push the light wing down. THen if need move than i can get there lower the right flap down. I'm concerned that lower the right will hurt the cruise spped more that raising the other one. Any help would be great.
Thanks In Advanced
