Banking left
-
Hi.
My Arrow seems to want to bank left a lot. Even at cruise with a balanced load and fuel I need 8-12 degrees of right rudder trim to keep the plane relatively stable, and even then I need to correct quite often. I've tried no wind scenarios too. My joystick is calibrated, and has appropriate deadzones.
What am I doing wrong?

@atledreier Yep, I get the exact same thing. Is it simply the weight of the pilot? I wouldn't have thought so but maybe?

@mule I always enable the co-pilot, it removes the banking for me. Currently you can't enable the co-pilot through the EFB, but you can also open the Weight dialog and add 170 lb for the co-pilot there. You won't see him, but in terms of the flight model, he's there.

I’ve found that having a passenger weighing the same 170 as the pilot balances the plane a bit and and has less tendency to roll to the left.

@corvus5624 Ah ok, thanks.
