"Tim Ward" wrote It occurs to me that they might want to check the aileron rigging. If both ailerons were "drooped", it would reduce the washout. Tim Ward I believe you have it backwards. Droop decreases overall AOA, and acts as washout, right? -- Jim in NC

I'm using "droop" here to indicate that the trailing edges are lower than normal. If it's lower in back, the AOA should be larger, and the washout less. If they were both _reflexed_, it would be higher on the trailing edge, and increase the washout. Tim Ward
