Folks,
Bought a nice RV-9A currently in AZ being painted. Hope to get it back towards W32 in the coming weeks. I noticed it has a heavy right wing and it dropped when the previous owner demonstrated a stall for me. Didn't realize what all that meant at the time. After reading a few threads the other day, realize now it could be a misaligned wing tip or possibly a less than flat aileron under surface. It has been painted so not sure how to address this without affecting the new paint. I asked Arizona Aircraft Services to check if the flaps / ailerons / wing tips are flush along the top to the trailing edge.
Not sure if the 6" spreader to help flatten the bottom (if needed) can be used on painted control surfaces without affecting the paint too much.
I could be wrong, maybe it only requires some rigging adjustments.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
Have a great Sunday,
Tim
