We needed to work out som thrust line issues and a heavy wing but most issues are sorted out. For the first 10 hours or so the test pilot was doing the flying and we...

    Fixing Heavy wing

    Thanks for all your ideas. I have made a list of the things I wll check and try as soon as I can. 1. Is the ball centered ? If not trim to center. 2. I will try pulling back the power to see if the problem is effected. 3. Check that both alerons are the same and that the gap is the same. i...

    Fixing Heavy wing

    It is difficult to try things because my test pilot is not always available. Given my test pilot skills, wrecked only one plane, I will wait until he tells me it is ready to let me fly. Tony

    Fixing Heavy wing

    I REALY don't want to change the incidence. It would be a lot of work, months. The initial test flights were made without the cowl on because the engine mount was shimmed 3 degrees to the right to get the plane to track down the runway. The cowl is now modified and ready for the next round of...

    There is no twist in the wing. it is a strait Hershey bar. the incidence is 3 degrees and the same on both sides by digital level. There is no dihedral. Tony

    Fixing Heavy wing

    Hello all, I have been building a BD-6 for the last 5 years and finally it has flown. It is the first customer built plane flying. The BD-6 is a single place BD-4 designed by Jim Bede. in test flying we have found that it drops the left wing a lot! It took two hands to hold it level. We...
