Has anybody got any bright ideas to sort out a problem a Kitfox MK 111
taildragger.... In straight and level flight once you take your hands off the controls/stick the wing drops off to the right. Have done most of the adjustments with the knowledge from very knowledgable people plus manuals. Done tail feathers, flapperons etc....next step add trim tab????

I have a pretty good idea what could be wrong.

If you give me a call on 084 266 3359, I'll be happy to talk to you. Just too much to write down.

Skidmark,

You've got it at Saldanha, get Johan to fly it up to Boet.

Give Lamercyfly a call and when he gives you the solution, post it here so we can all learn from it.

:D Problem appears to be solved put small trim tab on flapperon no more wing drop! Need to put a small trim on rudder got a liitle pressure on left rudder. Wx has been lousy drag racing on runway today so hopefully tomorrow I can get started :D Got some good pics but very large need to know how to shrink and submit?

Skid - If you are using windows XP just select them all, right click, Send To, Mail recipient.

It asks you if you want them smaller, say yes and they will be smaller in an attachment in an email. Just save the attachments somewhere (don't overwrite your original big pics though)
