In smooth air you can use slow and smooth inputs, but as the air gets more active the autopilot (or you) has to work a bit harder. I think...

My first thought with the video (great idea by the way) was the one variable here is how the ailerons are rigged. Mark says that rigging...Leave a comment:

Your last sentence cleared up my question as well. I read in a few places that overbalancing was better than under balancing....Leave a comment:

How does a BH or any plane with big (29 or 31) tires handle that? You have a new and very expensive prop. No worries?...Leave a comment:

Yeah, thanks. Lots of folks with widely different experiences here.Leave a comment:

Mark, that would work great. My inability to do that myself is why I didn't drill undersize and ream. My holes are very accurate for location, but I...Leave a comment:

I really like the "AY Gain". My guess is that it is adverse yaw gain and it mixes in rudder with aileron, before any yaw is actually sensed....Leave a comment:

I am a bit cautious to do that in this case. It is a very thick hole, maybe about an inch. I don't have any way to guide a 23/64 bit, and the chance...Leave a comment:

I believe sensitivity would be how much displacement, or rate of displacement, it takes before the autopilot commands a correction. Gain would be how...Leave a comment:

So wings are in position, dihedral and sweep set, holes centered. concentric and linear. Incidence as close to perfect as I can get it. I am not in...Leave a comment:

Jared, I wanted to ask the same thing. Is the support manual online? My recent light plane experience is nada. My experience with flight management...Leave a comment:

I probably would have bought one first, and then built one. But nothing came available that interested me. I wanted simple and light.Leave a comment:

The wings are not a huge amount of work, especially now since Avipro is drilling them to the fuselage at the factory. If you are space challenged, that...Leave a comment:

I think the only problem with waiting to the end to get the engine, is that the engine should be the first thing mounted on or near the firewall. If...Leave a comment:

I started drilling the fuselage wing attach fittings a little while ago. I have read, and reread the kit builders manual on hanging the wings. It sure...Leave a comment:

Both of my wings have a notch cut into the lightening hole of the first short rib. That actually made me initially think that the aileron cable was angled...Leave a comment:

It might sound strange, but the "roll" function is really to maintain a heading or course, not control roll. If the rudder alone can do it...Leave a comment:

Jared;
Autopilots should fly the airplane a LOT more gently than hand flying. In the case of something like a BH, I think having the roll rate...Leave a comment:

I am probably about 30-40%% done with my QB kit. It is hard to answer as there are too many variables. The big questions are your time and space. If...Leave a comment:
