only off center the stick as they will balance their position in the airflow
and do nothing to lift a heavy wing. The only logical solution I can think
off would be to either modify the trailing edge position of the fixed wing
tip or add a small trim tab on the rear of the tip of the heavy wing. Others
can pipe in with their thoughts. Bob J. Rebel 192/731.

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
