REFLECTOR: WEIRD STICK PROBLEMS

[Tom Martino]

It is a roll problem ... but not a roll trim problem because I have no
auto pilot connected (hooked up but not energized) ... nor do I have an
electric roll; trim.  I do have a big trim tab on the "heavy" wing ...
with a lot of deflection ... but it doesn't help.

 

I will double-check my auto pilot to be sure it is "off" ... but I am
almost positive it is!

 

Please more input!

My first thought is roll trim problem. Do you have an outopilot that is
somehow inputting a command? 

 

My XL tends to fly with the ball to the right in the turn coordinator,
but I think it is a rigging problem that I have never gotten around to
dealing with.

 

However yours sounds like a roll trim problem. 

 

Disconnect it either mechanically or electrically and check it out.
