Congratulations on your first flight! We flew our Corvair powered 650 for its 1st flight in July. Our left wing was heavy and continues to be so. We haven't decided what to do yet. We are toying with the idea of adjusting the wing incidence via the rear wing spar. We would love to hear a discussion about the problem. Zenith says that it could be the wing incidence, the engine mount, adjustment of flaps and ailerons, elevator cables being too tight, etc. It appears to be a fairly common problem. We are able to compensate with left wing trim, but I hate to be flying around with that trim tab up in the air all the time. What have you tried? Shayne

Congratulations on your successful flight. I like this version of your video better than the previous one. My HDs also had an extremely heavy left wing and I ran out of trim on first flight. My first takeoff must have resembled yours. The fun begins now.
