There is no twist. I now fly/ cruise with 7 deg reflex . at the inboard edge. This subsequently causes about 3/8 reflex at the aileron (I'm guess'n). That's kind of what I remember the manuals telling me to do. This fuselage was built for the old small tail. I had to modify the tail scallop to permit the big carbon tail. Fuselage fillets on the new fuselage might not be the same. This configuration permits 240mph speeds (which seem adequate) I suppose it could go alittle faster. I'm still working on it. A builder error through the course of this part of construction results in a slight touch of the flap to the T.E Skin. What a bear. I get a little smudge (scratch) in my clear coat on the top of the flap. My justification/ rationalization for not retrimming the T.E. skin is that the touch acts as a gap seal and as such increases my speed. :0 No Twist.
