Just wondering if anyone has a solution to a heavy wing for the RV14?
I have a heavy wing on the right side and it is within my aileron trim range but I would like to fix it if I can.
I have double checked my rigging and the ailerons are set pretty darn precise using the provided jig. My method of checking is to set the jig on one side/aileron and hold that aileron in a fixed position then moving the jig to the other side, it comes to a perfect match. Then the flaps are set to the same level in relation to the ailerons on both side. When they are fully retracted, they are about a hair lower than the ailerons. I am not so much interested in adding a wedge to the aileron if there is other methods that can be done.
In other RV models (6/7) we can squeeze the aileron trailing edge or replace the hinge bracket which is bolted to the ailerons but in 14, they are riveted and not easily replaceable.
I was wondering if any other things can be checked/modified to get a more balanced setting in roll?
As always appreciate all thoughts and suggestions.
