Cubbers,
Brand spankin' new C90 and 72/46 wood on the nose! I upgraded from A65. Let's just say I was airborne before I was able to get the throttle all the way forward, and I am still smiling like an idiot. Best upgrade to date. I am very happy.
She is no faster, but speed doesn't excite me. It was the climb I was after and boy does it deliver.
The install added about 8lbs total to the nose. Now with full fwd trim and me solo in the back seat I have to maintain a fair amount of fwd pressure on the stick to maintain straight and level. What a drag! It was fairly annoying after an hour flight this morning.
I looked at my horiz stabs. They aren't exactly even. The left one has a slight curve up on the leading edge, and the right one has a slight curve down on the trailing edge. I am sure this is a factor, but that much? Aren't all Cubs bent just a little? Can I get more trim somewhere?
I have heard other people talk about the horiz. stab being installed upside down. Not the case here, I have checked it out.
Any ideas?
