Yesterday I was blasting along solo at full throttle, wishing I could go faster. I looked out the back at my horizontal stab, and the counterweights were about 1/2" higher at the front than the horizontal stab.
Later, when I was flying home with the cooler and other stuff in the back (more aft CG) the mismatch was greater, and my airspeed was down.
Has anyone changed the incidence of the horizontal stab after construction, and is there previous discussion here on the forum that I missed (poor search technique on my part?)
My goal is a light and slick 180 HP fixed pitch cross country ship that does occasional IAC competition.
