Hello folks. I purchased my 2nd Kitfox IV from a great aviation family in Canada and trailered it home to Kentucky. I'm going through all the US registration milestones, secured a new US N Number (125PT) and have started taxi tests with several crow hops down the runway.
Sitting in the hangar, moving the flaperons appears to produce some asymmetric behavior that makes me do a double take. I don't need to use them for first flights but ... of course I will soon enough. I plan to check the builder's manual to confirm pushrod length and adjustments. The plane was flying a good bit prior to my purchase. I can't imagine them getting out of adjustment on a trailer even though we drove 1,200 miles.
I thought I saw on some other posts that the flaperons require a flying wing to work as designed and that the behavior I'm seeing may be normal in no-wind situations. I would appreciate any thoughts.
