Steve--
The ailerons are rigged differentially as part of the design.
That is,
the up aileron travels much farther up than the down aileron. This is to
eliminate adverse yaw. If ailerons move the same amount in either
direction, as a lot of airplanes do, the down aileron lifts that wing.
Say we are turning right--the right wing goes down and the left wing
rises. The down left aileron also creates more drag on that side of the
airplane, causing it to skid through the turn. Ercoupe, Forney, etc.
ailerons are designed to eliminate adverse yaw so you do not need to use
rudder pedals.Syd Cohen NC94196
