REFLECTOR: Gurney flap

[Ron Brown]

I used it on my 173 for a "heavy" right wing.  I siliconed a piece about a foot long and installed it on the back edge (bottom side) of the wing between the aileron and rudder.

I eventually fixed the heavy wing problem by fixing the rudder which was not retracting fully (the internal horn was hitting the inside of the wing).  Now my plane flies straight and level, ball centered.
