Dan, Good advice.
May I add one thing, Before bending the aelrions, make sure the controls are completely rigged by the book - especially the nose wheel adjustment. If the nose wheel is cocked off to one side or the other when fluing straingt and level (or trying to), the nose wheel acts like a rudder. After checking all rigging is in neutral - aelrions even with trailing edges of wings; rudders trainlin vertical stabilizer, control wheels level, etc. ; then push the coupe along the gropund. Does it roll in a straight line ??? If not adjust the nose wheel linkage properly so that it does. This really makes a difference. When I bought my coupe, all rigging was correct, but the nose wheel was turned about 5 degrees left. The plane flew in a crab, and was not very nice. Correcting this raeally made a difference - and added about 10 mph to the speed.... Another note : I have noticed secoupes with the aelrion hinges mounted on top of the wing ----Wrong --- The hinges mount underneath the wing.... On Top, the aelrions set about 3/16 inch above the wing, and must create tremendous drag..... Regards, Harry
