<DIV><FONT size=2>Hey Guys,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>My latest plane has fixed gear and pants. If memory
serves this is the first plane that I have ever owned that had wheel
pants. The pants are very light and along with this is the fact they
are relatively flimsey. They are anchored on the gear leg and have
minimal movement (there is a bit) up and down. However, they can be
moved side to side pretty easily by grabbing the front and moving
them. My plane on the first flights has shown some rather strange yaw
tendencies. Sometimes it seems like it needs some pretty hefty right
rudder trim and other times during the same flight it will seem that left
trim is called for. Could this yaw problem be related to the pants
movement? Hope I made that close to understandable.</FONT></DIV>
