Hi Donald Could you please be more specific? My aileron hinges are on top of my wings and I also experienced a significant slow speed compared with what should be the normal for a 415C (Cruise no more than 90mph). Where those hinges should be?
Thanks Kostas Athens Greece --- Στις Σάβ., 12/06/10, ο/η Donald Cooley <[email protected]> έγραψε: Από: Donald Cooley <[email protected]> Θέμα: [ercoupe-tech] Aileron hinge placement Προς: [email protected] Ημερομηνία: Σάββατο, 12 Ιούνιος 2010, 11:52 After painting my wings, my mechanic, (some years ago), installed the hinges on top of the wing. I immediately noticed a reduction in speed, but the real kicker was that the airplane would not climb above 6,000 feet, even with just me on board. I did some checking against other 'Coupes and corrected the position to under the T.E. and returned the plane to its previous performance. Since then I have noticed many 'Coupes with the hinges installed incorrectly and have tried to inform the owners, when I could locate them. It makes a BIG difference! Don, in Woodland, California
