Skippy, don't worry about it......seems that you have been nominated as the new whipping boy since they flogged Don out of the way.

Thanks Ken - you have restored my faith, shaken by some proceeding commentators, in human nature.

Flying Australia did a review of it and said that the ailerons lacked authority, which would be an amazing thing to say about any aircraft.

I would have thought it a perfectly reasonable thing to say if the the ailerons lack authority.

I can tell you from experience that a standard CH601HD lacks aileron authority especially at low speeds.

VGs and higher ratio bellcranks have improved mine, but I'd like them to be as half as effective again. If I could make it have the same roll rate as an RV6 I'd be happy with that.

 

so, in this plane when is that going to be an issue ? During landing (low airspeed, low prop thrust- ie low control effectivness ) when a high amount of roll is "instantaneously" be needed to counter a Xwind gust ?

That is the main time I would really appreciate better aileron authority.
