Hello! I am a new member but not new to aviation. I have built an RV-4 and have done considerable work on certified aircraft. I will be more than happy to share any knowledge I have regarding homebuilt aircraft. Having said that, I have acquired interest in a Slipstream Revelation. For all of you not familiar with the Revelation, it is a 2 place pusher lightsport airplane with about a 50 HP Rotax engine.
My problem is that in order to fly straight and level, substantial right aileron and rudder have to be applied just to maintain straight flight. The airplane has been built per plans and the vertical stab has been offset as required and the aircraft is built straight. The wing is bagged with bows and it has some variation in its construction because of variation in the bag. I am not that familiar with pusher type planes and was inquiring if anyone has experience with rigging this type of airplane or has experienced this problem.
Thanks for your help!
