Hi, I am looking for some help from the clever guys please.
I have a RV6, and have flown many hours since I bought her, but from the beginning I had a heavy right wing. I have went through the normal heavy wing procedure of squeezing the trailing edge, but I'm not happy yet.
I believe that the aileron rigging is not perfect. On the ground, when I push the stick left and let go it will go back towards the middle and stop just right of centre, when I push the stick right and let go it stays there.
I have also measured the following angles with my iphone on the top surfaces of the ailerons and wings. Measured in degrees from level as it stood in the hanger.
Wings- 13 degrees from level and ailerons 15 degrees from level in neutral position.
RH aileron- 21 degrees up from neutral and 13 down, 34 total.
LH aileron- 25 degrees up from neutral and 13 down, 38 total.
In level flight she wants to pull right and RH aileron will be up by very little and LH aileron down by little bit.
Any ideas?
