      Default Rudder issue

      Yesterday’s fight was perfect. Today, I felt the plane not feeling right. Looked down at rudder pedals and the left was 2-3 inches ahead of the right. On the ground, I centered the pedals and the rudder was displaced to the right. 


      checked cables, all attached and were in the only pulley on each side, attached at the rudder


      checked pedals, none bent or cracked and gussets were there and no cracks. Springs were attached and were the same length when pedals centered.


      if I clamp the pedals so to be parallel and push the rudder to center the right cable is taunt and the left very loose. How did this happen. 


      Another condition on the same flight, had to apply forward pressure on stick to keep it from climbing. Before with electric trim I could fly hands off. 


      what is going on with this plane?....

    Just bought a Kitfox 4 with a 2800 Rotec engine. The prop is on the small side at  70 inches with pitch unknown.

    I have not flown it yet, but am thinking that the prop is quite small for this engine.

    What size prop are Rotec operators using????
