1. Simply by attaching white plastic office type paper binding strips.
2. Addition of triangular section wooden strips to both the top and bottom
surfaces.
These could be bonded on with Redux 420 and then painted.
Do not extend the strips forward by more than 12mm (½").
Weight is important - do not use anything heavier than a plastic or wood
strip.
IMPORTANT: Check tailplane balance after fitting Flettner strips.
With the aircraft level, set the tailplane to its neutral position. If it moves
from this position once you let go of it then clearly it is out of balance and
will require adjusting accordingly.
Once you get to the fine tuning stage we found that the best way to do this
was to simply rotate the tailplane gently each way in a rocking motion by
pushing down on the upper surface forward and aft of the pivot point,
checking for the same force being required to reverse the direction once the
balance is correct.
Firmly secure all balance weights to the balance arm then double check the
tailplane for full and free movement.
Check the rudder and tailwheel system for correct operation.
Check the cables for security and chafing, pulleys for freedom of movement
and cable security under the pulleys.
