Now that the Pietenpol has had a few flights the bugs are getting worked out. I removed the added ballast, the CG was right where is was supposed to be the first time. When the propeller is pushing air over the tail very little control input is needed. When gliding it needs big throws to have good control. Big throws and a lot of expo so the sticks are soft in the center but full rudder is available when gliding is how I like it. It doesn't need any more dihedral. It banks with the rudder like it has ailerons. Last night I used the heat gun to add a bit more wash-out to the wing tips. We'll see if that helps or hurts today. It had some nice flights yesterday. It looks cool in the air with the sun shining through the covering.
