First, I'd like to say thanks to Bill for giving us the drawings for the rigging boards. Excellent work!
A little background. My Skybolt has flown with a heavy right wing since I bought it. When I had the wings off this past winter, I just reassembled them the same as they came off.
Thanks to Bill, I built a set of rigging boards and now know why she flys with the heavy right wing. See picture:
This also explains having to hold a little right rudder in cruise. Obviously the lower left wing is creating some drag with the extra incidence out at the wing tip.
I thought I'd post this so some of the guys without the experience can see cause and result of wing rigging.
Hope this helps.
It's interesting that I've got a little more incidence in the lower wings than the top.
