Flying time

Post by Mike Betti » Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:56 am

Hi all,
Finally getting some time in my Elite this weekend. The wind finally quit gusting around here for the time being anyway. Have about 3 hours logged and got the landing down pretty well now. I can see the need for some weight in the back seat to get that tail down, but able to make nice no throttle landings as is.
Can I run the flaps in notch 1 beyond flap speed since they are actually in the nuetral position at that point? Flaps at 0 is reflex.
Also looking at drooping a flap to get rid of a heavy wing. Does it help to raise the opposite or should I just droop the heavy one?
Also added a trim tab to elevator to help with lack of offset. I been told to mount it at 1/2 way point on rudder. I notice many certified planes have this toward the bottom. Could it be more effective say inline with the stab?
Thanks,
Mike Betti
