Hey all, recently tore down and recovered the 12 fuselage. Wings on and flying again, wow what a lot of work. Anyway, she has always flown a half ball left of coordinated in hands/feet off the controls. All it took was to rest the left boot on the rudder to fly straight. Now the ball is pretty much pegged left and it takes a whole bunch of left boot to keep her headed in the direction I want to go.
We didn't change strut fork lengths, ailerons, actually we didn't even touch the wings. Same motor, prop. However we did get a new engine mount, could it be that the mount is not square and causing an exaggerated right yaw? It sure is tough on the ol' left leg and flying right wing up is getting old quick. Maybe vertical stab got tweaked in an overtight fabric situation?
Suggestions?
