[rebel-builders] Rebel Stab angle

Post by Wayne G. O'Shea » Sun Feb 19, 2012 8:43 pm

Charlie, My Rebel has always flown with some up elevator in cruise.. didn't
matter if it was with the O-235 on it.... O-320 or when on Amphibs as is
evident in all my videos I took last summer. I started mounting everyone
elses stabs at 0.7/0.8 degrees in 1996 and they seem to cruise darn close to
neutral elevator.

To change yours now... if you haven't made fairings... requires a new hole
for the anchor nuts.. probably a doubler plate to do so. Not a big deal. If
you've already made your fairings.. just carry on and fly what you have.

Hi Jesse, Walter, every one
Before I heard Rebel builders were changing the angle of incidence on the
horizontal stab I set mine by the manual to 1 degree. I plan to certify at
1,320 gross, wheels only, my engine is a Lyc. O-235, 115 Hp. Should I be
changing my angle to something less?

Thanks for the input Ken,
I don't feel so bad now. I thought it may have had to do with my wing
tail
incidences but who knows. I set .5 degrees on the horizontal stab which
gives a neutral elevator in flight with an average load.

Mine is the same Jesse. Might get a knot or two when I'm very very light
but that hardly ever is the case. Can't explain why it works better for
everyone else other than that I normally cruise quite slow and the pitch
(nose up) is noticeably higher when I reflex.

I have not made the fairings yet so I will look at changing the angle. I
have my nutplates mounted on a doubler so it may not be to difficult to
move.
Again thanks for your valuable info.
