@davidnickerson1157 4 жыл бұрын
William LeBlanc Turned out to not be the wing. My harness on my motor had a shoulder strap pulled 4 inches tighter on the right, which effectively gave me a TON of right side weight shift. Preflight would’ve caught that. I did not effectively preflight everything that needed to be. I landed twice trying to figure out what was going on.
