REFLECTOR: Roll trim?

[steve korney]

Adjusting the linkage only adjusts the yoke or stick position... If someone adjusts one aileron up or down, it really moves both ailerons in flight up or down... Since the wing is in a fixed position attached to the plane mechanically, the whole plane will roll one way or another depending on the wing incidence change...

Not sure I understand the question. If there's no roll trim, then there's no adjustment for the roll trim.

If you're asking how how adjusting the ailerons could affect a wing low situation, I don't know.  I've never done a rigging job on a plane before.  But when I had it done to my Cessna, during the process, they adjusted the aileron linkage and the wing incidence.


But I don't know specifically what adjustment was done to get the plane to fly level.

Hi Don...

How do you adjust the ailerons to adjust the roll trim...

I'm finally getting around to trying different springs to go with the cog belt and pulley trim system (thanks Geoff!). 

And while sitting back there looking at the whole roll trim thing it occurred to me that none of the single engine piston planes I've flown have a roll trim system. If the plane flies with a heavy wing, that's fixed by rigging. Either adjusting the wings themselves or adjusting the ailerons. 



So here's "The question":  Has anyone omitted the roll trim mechanism?
