----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Bob,
you mentioned the "damaged rear walk section." That is a pretty beefy structure back there- how did this get damaged? Whatever force damaged it could easily have tweaked your airframe slightly and put the center section out of alignment. It sounds as though they have pinpointed the problem- Are you confident of their work? Have them check for any other related damage to the center section while they are in there. jan z Fresno 415G IA On Tue, 15 Aug 2000 19:26:51 -0700 Bob Ellis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following > any advice in this forum.]---- > Coupers, > > Remember my terrible left rolling tendancy on my first flight last > month? > Well the shop that did the work for the seller has the plane and is > fixing > it for me.
