Rolls to left with full flaps...

[Gilt]

My 63C flys hands off in cruise, but with full flaps the left wing gets heavy.

Any suggestions?

Land with Takeoff flaps?

Rent travel boards and check for symmetrical flap deflection?

Park on a level surface, extend full flaps and measure up from the ground for symmetrical deflection?

Seems I've read of an adjustment screw somewhere. Are both flaps at the same position when UP? Lay a yardstick along the upper wing surface [front-to-back], it should be the same angle on both wings, check the gap between the yardstick and the sheet metal. Crawl underneath and repeat the yardstick--are both flaps up the same amount? If not, your A&P can adjust flaps to be the same. See Maint. Manual for adjustment method and proper set points.

Your right flap is lower than the left side. To correct for this remove the fuselage panel at the flaps station. Adjust the inboard right flap actuating link to bring the flap up. Start with two turns. The cruise roll setting is done at the outboard end of the flap at the attachment point. The only way to be sure the setting is right is by flying the plane. When testing for roll stability set the plane in a shallow dive with minimum power. Make sure the PC and autopilot are not actvated. After fixing the flaps down roll problem check for roll stability with the flaps retracted. A minor adjustment at the outboard set screw may be required.

Thanks...started with one turn on the right inboard, it took out about more than half the roll. I'll go back and give It another turn. Glad there's ONLY about 50 screws on that panel...

Thanks

Left roll in some cases is due to someone heavy stepping on the right flap thus deforming slightly the link bracket. To avoid stepping on the flaps keep them down when boarding or disembarking passengers.

Gave it another turn today, two turns was perfect...From now on boarding and deplaning with flaps down!

Thanks Piloto
