Update 9/15/2022 Flight test 6 continued.

 The right roll issue was mitigated by correcting the slop in the right aileron torque tube.  The AP was slightly pitching up/down at about 125 KIAS @ 8000'.   

Completed the power on and power off stall testing.  Power off, gear down, canard bob was at 60.5 KIAS, vertical descent was 780 fpm.

The canard would not stall with full power on.   Probably will later with more weight and forward CG.

I went for a second flight in the afternoon to confirm the right roll issue was mitigated and it was much better.  The autopilot was wanting to climb at higher speeds.   I disconnected the AP and manually flew and trimmed and it seemed to be okay.

Flightradar is picking up my flights now if you use Chrome...doesn't seem to work with Brave and maybe other browsers.  Previously Flightaware and adsbexchange were the only sources picking up flights.
