I'm a buyer not builder.
Reading the post re horiz stab incidence with great
interest.
With 2 in seats modest baggage, down elevator is required
at speed.
Looking back at horns-looks like several degrees down
elevator.
I plan to check horiz stab incidence per procedure
yesterday, but short of using a saws-all and glass, what can I do if
the stab incidence is not correct?
I know the down elevator must be causing me drag would
like to correct with out saws-all, is there another fix (flap reflex??
etc.)
Also, at speed need left rudder to keep ball centered. I
will play with trim tab this week. Any other ideas?
Also, having intermittent transponder problem. Seems to
always have problems with SOCAL in LA basin, but other radar
environments sometimes have a problem sometimes not. Go figure. I
have reply light flashing but they can't see me - other times no reply
light. Tried cycling etc.
Current transponder is a King KT76C. Internal antenna.
Don't know about required matching transformer yet.
Going into the shop this morning for trxpd checks. Plan
to check frequency and power and check for matching transformer. But
my mechanic says that he has had very limited / no success with
"internal" antenna on other composites.
Any list experience with internal antenna? Any suggestions
on where internal antenna might be located?
Thanks a lot. Really appreciate help from the list.
Purchased AC last spring, but haven't flown it much due
to taking it out of CA to avoid the sales tax (9.5% !!!). Plan to
start flying a lot more and resolving these issues.
