Can someone confirm the recommended elevator throws and flap compensation for the BVM or Jet Legend L-39?

BVM PNP instructions say +1.5" and -1.25" for the elevator. That seems excessive. An old Jet Legends RCU thread says +/- 20mm., which is about half that.

Also how much elevator compensation is needed for TO and Full Flaps? Up or down?

Thanks,
Joe

I have been flying the BVM L-39. I will be able to pull it off the shelf next week some time and will get you some numbers.

1 inch seems more reasonable. I'll probably set my triple rates to 3/4, 1, and 1.25" for my maiden.

Any word on elevator/flap compensation?

No word on that. He might be working today, so give BVM a shout and see if he’s available to chat.

These are where mine are. I fly at the mid-setting. The flap compensation is nearly zero. It is a click or two down elevator for me but it can vary some.

If you haven't flown it yet, you're going to love it.. It's as close to a turbine trainer as there is.. Absolute sweetheart of an airplane.

Glad to hear that. I'm a few weeks away from maidening mine.
