| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 11-Jul-17 13:07 |  | | Views : 313 | | LONGER MOTOR & TRIM TABS - Yesterday it rained pretty good all day long, and the sun came out in late afternoon, and was evaporating all of the water into the air = HIGH HUMIDITY. I took the 22" Sig "Cabinaire" out at twilight gloaming dusk, for some flights with a new, longer motor, of two, 20" long each, strands of 3/16" rubber (prop hook to rear motor peg is 13"). The plane had on the previous evening at dusk, been flying during "transition", after initial power burst, flying into quick descending, tight, steep-turn spiral dives, on the Right Hand circle flight. I tried to counteract this, by putting a small DOWN "tab", of file folder cardboard, scotch taped (it does not rip the tissue off when you pull off the tape), taped this tab, with a little downwards bend, onto the bottom trailing edge of the outward right wing, to raise the wing during flight, and another small LEFT "tab", with a little left bend in it, taped this tab to the left side of the rudder, to counteract the right turn a bit. It flew GREAT !!! |

I was able to get the jaws of two strong clamps inside the fuse opening to hold everything together. All glued up and clamped in place. |
