Without laying my hands on the manual it's a bit difficult
to say if up on both ailerons is correct, it could be to reduce tip stalling.
However, I suspect this is not the case, BUT some (especially older) gliders do
mix the aileron and elevator.
Is the "up" on the ailerons constant throughout the
elevator movement range (ie does it reduce with stick forward
movement)?

Hi
This is my first dip into the discussion group.
Its been great watching from the sidelines.
I have a problem.
My Libelle aileron deflections were found to be
out of whack mid season - max up deflection on right wing 15 deg rather than
specified 20 +/- 1.
I got that sorted through Bob Fox at
GCV.
Now in flight and in neutral setting each aileron
is up about 3-4 degree is my estimate as viewed from the cockpit.
Now thinking about Form 2 this year and would
like to know whether I should get this corrected and what sort of performance
characteristics one can expect from such a setting, eg stall speed with my
75kg weight plus chute is about 38 knots; it settles very quickly after round
out on landing and is hard to hold in a 45deg, 45 knot thermaling
turn. Is there a compensating performance gain at higher
speeds?
Any comments will be most welcome.
Regards
