remember seeing Hanno Prettners Super Sicroly in MAN....he actually used bent
wire trim devices on the ends of his surfaces (permanent type) for trim
alignment checks on the ground. I always wondered how he kept them
from bending???</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

YS 1.10 was given a quick break-in on the ground and then the plane was
flown. Nothing spectacular to report</SPAN>.<SPAN class=533220621-11112003>
The plane flew well. Still needs a little more right thrust. Even running
very rich the 1.10 would pull the plane straight up with the
"break-in" APC 14 x 11. The engine has YS Engine Performance
Specialties 90 degree header and muffler. I use an Hatori black rubber
diverter to keep the oil away from the bottom of the fuselage. With this
set-up you can keep everything inside the cowl.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff><SPAN class=533220621-11112003>The
plane weighs 9 lb 2.2 oz and feels very light on the

did two long flights and went home satisfied that the YS1.10 will be killer
once it is run in. It was very friendly from the outset and ran well even
when set rich. I will run the 14 x 12 and the 14 x 13 when it is full broken
in.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=533220621-11112003>A comment
on CG. I have had more e-mails on this subject than any other aspect
of the plane. The plane calls for 165 mm from the LE. I ran my 1.40
version at 175 mm and it still carried a little up-trim. The latest plane
was set a 170 mm and now carries more up trim than the first one. I shall
move the CG back on both of them to see if it has any adverse affects and to
advise on what is a sensible rearward CG. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=533220621-11112003>As it
stand 175 mm (~6-3/4") works just fine.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=533220621-11112003>One
trimming tip. After you land you often find that you have beeped in a few %
of trim here and there. If you like keeping your main trims at zero% you
will most likely the electronic sub-trim or mechanical pushrod
adjustment. It is hard to reproduce the desired trim by eye or
feel.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=533220621-11112003>A neat
trick is to use two pins. Put one pin sticking straight out of the TE of the
aileron. Then position a second pin sticking out of the TE of the wing. Line
the pins up. Then take out the stick trim-setting and re-align the control
surface pins with the sub-trim or turnbuckle or
whatever.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=533220621-11112003>You can
be very accurate with this and it is also very easy to do in field
conditions.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
