Hi All, need some advise. Bought myself a Windlass 503 with a cut back wing. When flying it for the first time on Saturday I find that the bar of the wing does not sit in the middle but more to the left, how do rectify this issue

Move your seat a little to the left...















Sorry couldn't help myself :D :D

Are your flying wires equal lengths right vs left? One side twisted more than the other? Are the U-shackles there on both sides of the trapeze bar? How far is it out? Is attach brackets for wires inside the wings the 10mm thick ones - damage? Is it flying straight and level hands off?

This is a funny one - Don't fly it till someone that knows has properly checked it. If it tends to turn to one side it normally is a wing tuning excercise and easily solved.

Hi Livin
I have not flown or worked on a trike for a long time but recall having a similar problem on my old Cosmos Chronos wing.
Please don't try this untill you speak to someone who is current. I recall doing these steps.
First check all the batons are in and profiles match opposite sides of wing.
Check luff-lines not twisted esp on one side.
When you have checked these obvious things and everything seems ok consider altering the bend in the last baton on the left side which may be causing the wing to want to turn left.
But as I said, you should not be doing this on your own unless you are sure or have help.

Thanks guys will look at the options you have proposed
