Ventus C rigging
I have a 1987 Ventus C that I purchased in 1995. Love
the plane but it wants to roll to the right at high speeds (90kts or greater). Actually I guess it always wants to roll to the right but I start to notice how much left aileron pressure I have to apply to counter the roll at the higher speeds, especially above 100kts, for any period of time (long final glide). It makes my arm tired. At speeds below 80kts I don't notice it. I have tried various riggings with the flaps/ailerons but other than slight improvements I don't seem to be making any progress and have just 'lived with it' over the years. I'm afraid that the problem might be 'built-in' to the airframe with one wing having a different angle of incidence than the other. I sent an email to Schempp-Hirth about this and never got a reply. Anyone have any ideas? Jimmy Hamilton Reno, NV JLH |
