Hi Ive done My wheel alignement and thought I was flying a different aircraft I still cant believe such a small thing can make such a big change.
Taxing was like it was on rails even with a slight crosswind In the past it would have been all breaks and ruder. on the take of run I Lifted the tail and she tracked straight and eased into the air. No suden Leap as in the past. and the landing, god even in a crosswind it went by the book as easy as pie. I even droped it on a little high and resulting in a a little bounce but tracked straight I took two Large blokes One with a lot of tailweel experience, for a fly I was about 30 KG overloded With full fuel. and she behaved so well that they both commented on what a powder puff of an airoplane. I have since taken her of the market.
I want to thank you all for the assistance and advice. I met a bloke working on some electrical and he new my aircraft from when it was doing scenic flights and he said I was brave to fly it because most of the staff avoided flying it except in good weather and then only under duress.
So I think this wheel alignment has been a problem From day one So all I can say is if new owners are reading this . then CHECK YOUR WHEEL ALIGNEMENT!
Best regards. keep up the good work.
