<DIV><FONT size=2>Well I have run into a trim problem with a plane that I have
not seen before. Time to tap into the wealth of knowledge on the
list.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The plane generally is flying pretty nice.
Uplines/Downlines are good, minor mixing for knifeedge stuff, good feel while
inverted...etc.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Problem rears its ugly head in rolling to knifeedge.
When using small aileron movement to slowly roll into a 4/8 or 4 pt for example
the plane will pitch to canopy. Not drastically but I would say
moderately, more than enough to cause a concern. However, if you do a full
4 pt or slow roll with rudder coming in the pitch to canopy does not
happen. With good top rudder the plane is trimmed to fly very nice
straight knifeedge flight right or left.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I got to playing with is some today and when I would roll from
upright to knife edge with no other input other than the aileron deflection the
plane would have a predictable drop of the nose and would begin going to the
canopy.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>What am I overlooking here. Any ideas or has anyone run
into this before?</FONT></DIV>
