<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Something else to consider, though you said you
dont believe it is tail heavy since it is not twitchy on elevator, the
Meridian has a pretty large stab, that plus the right amount of expo can keep
pitch sensitivity under control yet ailerons can still be too sensitive. Then
when you throttle up, more airflow over everything will help smooth some of
the sensitivity out to some degree. I normally would not suggest
this course on most pattern planes, however, on the Meridian, the stab is huge
compared to most planes. Since it would not be too hard to add a couple of
ounces of lead in the nose, you might try it along with decreasing aileron
throw. Everyone has been right on, on the throw. I flew mine with 11 degrees for
high rate. Good luck, Terry</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> As usual, I have a wealth of
information - of course some of it is contradictory. This makes it sooo
much more interesting - as in real life answers are rarely cut and dry.
Is modling real live or scaled down ???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Anyhow, reducing throws to
minumums and possibly squaring off the TE are a couple of the most doable
solutions. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I'm curious how the following
can impact aileron neutral sensitivity :</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>* aileron reflex or droop </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>* wing and stab incidence</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>* wing loading</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
