Hi Folks,
I recently purchased a PA 12 Replica Kit. The frame was done by Javeron and the kit, I believe from Back Country Super Cubs. Here's the problem. The plane won't stall. There's not enough back stick/up elevator to get the plane to stall. My understanding is that this airplane needs 27 degrees up elevator. This one has only about 21 degrees. The problem is that the horn is at the stop, there's no where left for it to go. Has anyone encountered this? I've talked to Javeron and the builder and they claim that they know of no fix. No point in having a STOL airplane that won't STOL.. Anyone have any ideas for a fix or anyone have this problem?? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
