Good morning coupers,
Two items come to mind as I browse through the e-mails that came in yesterday.
First: My coupe also tends to turn to the right. The ball is almost always right of center. I do have rudder peddles and have found if I center the ball with the rudders, it has a detrimental effect on climb. I normally climb at about 500fpm. Correcting yaw drops it down to about 400fpm. I'm not quite sure why that is but couldn't the correction be made in the rudder trim rather than trying to add aileron trim?
The other item I wanted to mention was that the rough running at altitude that I was experiencing two weeks ago was indeed carb ice. I tested theory out Friday morning. At altitude I pulled the carb heat on and the rpm dropped about 200rpm then crept back up as the ice melted. Thanks for all the responses.
When I mentioned trying to lean out the mixture to my AI he said that on my carb there is only two settings, rich and lean. Push the knob all the way in for rich and pull all the way out for lean. He said that I should run in the lean position above 5000'.
Any comments on that?
Blessings to all,
John Bennett
