I'm New Here
Hello all,
I need some advice or help...
My good friend, RV-12 builder, Doc Ireland passed this winter and left his RV-12 in his estate. I have flown it and found that with flaps down the right flaperon is deflected more like 5 degrees with the 2nd notch of flaps. Aircraft banks right when flaps are lowered.
I have read some historical comments here and considered all cures to this problem but want to eliminate the easiest first and continue until fixed by an A and P mechanic.
This aircraft has the servo'd autopilot and was first wondering if any linkages from the servos to the control could need adjusting?
I noticed too, that statically, when I put in one or two notches or flaps with stick centered, as flaps are engaged, the control stick moves a unit to the left for each detent. Is that normal?
Thank you.
