Roberto,

 

I was a little freaked out when I found out about the incidence difference, plus Bryan had a significant right roll, "barely controllable" on the first flight.  I quickly changed from flying my own first flight to hiring Orin Riddel to do the first flight, significant cost, but necessary considering the incidence difference.

After the wing incidence was discovered, I started checking everything.  Some other measurements were off too.  My nose gear rake was off, my firewall was off, but my main gear alignment was right on.  I was nervous.  I talked to Tim Ong.  I told him that I wasn't an aeronautical engineer, just a kitplane builder, and variations on my airplane from the design specifications are scary.  I didn't know if I'd need Sean D. Tucker to fly my plane.  He reassured me that I wouldn't have a problem.  Educated opinion or wishful thinking, not sure?

 

I had a right roll tendency which was corrected with the eccentric bushings.  I wish my wings were straight.  I have some body work to do to realign my wing root fairings with my adjusted wings.

 

Bottom line, my plane flies great, I'm getting the advertised speeds with my rough primer.

 

I'm very satisfied with my plane.
