REFLECTOR: Slow flight characteristics

[Ann DaSilva]

Try measuring the distance from the leading edge of the canard to the
leading edge of the wing straight back, about 6 inches in from the tip of
the canard on both sides. Compare the difference they should be close to
equal, 1/4 of an inch or less.

I'm flying a standard Velo (4 cyl) that I've put about 10 hours on in
the last couple of weeks testing it. During slow flight there is a
significant tendency for it to drop the left wing. It's more pronounced
with power off. Is this a design issue?? The plane is built straight
(built by Danny) and has no tendency to turn at higher speeds with no
trim). I built a Varieze in the past and did not have this issue. Any
suggestions as to cause and resolution appreciated..thx Tom
