Bill-
The owner of the HDS had a pretty good response to the passenger angle.
90% of the time, he flew solo. 9.999% of the remaining time, he flew with
his wife. My wife has to weigh 60 lbs less than I do, so there will still be
more weight in the left seat and I should still come out ahead. The less
trim you have to use, the less wind resistance. The less wind resistance,
yada yada yada. It all depends on your projected usage, and it's not like I
put both tanks on one side or anything outrageous.
Of course, this "Fix" wouldn't work for Jack Spratt.

Bill, to tell you the truth I can't tell any difference in speed alone with
aileron trim up. Never have pushed it to see max speed (beyond 3K rpm) so the
difference must be very slight. Have noticed a slight decrease with elevator
trim though, but to balance the plane hands off for ease of flying the minor
speed loss is negligible. I usually worry more about fighting head winds. Flew
the other day, doing 140 plus, looked at the GPS, said ground speed was 67 !
Yugos going up hill were passing me. Best regards, Bill of Georgia

Andrew,
My flaps were a little off too. I removed the flap made a new end rib, with a new hole, re-rivted the bushing on and put it back on. My glide is much better, and the handling is MUCH better.

Cheers,
