Sayuuk 9 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Finally... I've always had the problem that the Katana tends to turn to the left on its own (normal, moment produced by the prop). I had experimented with the trim tabs a lot, but no matter how far to the left I bent them, the plane was still turning to the left. => Is the rudder trim tab reversed??!! ==> The settings show how the rudder will be pushed, not the trim tab itself... When I bend it to the right, it will compensate for the left-turning-moment... Reality: Trim Tab, bent to the left => pushes rudder to the right ==> right turn Trim Tab, bent to the right => pushes rudder to the left ==> left turn... AS Katana: Trim Tab, bent to the left => pushes rudder to the left => left turn %% I'm very glad that I noticed this by accident, this will make my flying much more enjoyable, once I find a working setting... =P Just thought I'd let those of you know, who had this problem as well..

Sayuuk 9 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Are you using v1.0 or v1.1 beta? 1.1 Beta, in 1.0 I couldn't get the trim tab to compensate the movement at all. Now in 1.1 Beta I can see (external model) that the trim tab moves as indicated on the settings screen. However, they behave "inversed". Right now it is bent to the right and produces a moment to the right, which obviously is the wrong way around =P I've got it pretty much under control now, finally =) Flying is so much more relaxed now, only having to balance turbulence out and not constantly fighting against a "static force"... Now if I had a basic autopilot in the VC, it would be really perfect ;-) Cheers, Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(althought I can't remember how hard I tried bending them the wrong way... =/ ) => I don't know if this changed with the patch...

MarcelFelde 527 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Strange, I didn't change the rudder trim tab meanwhile... the ailerons should work correctly witht he new version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayuuk 9 Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Strange, I didn't change the rudder trim tab meanwhile... the ailerons should work correctly witht he new version. Then I probably didn't try bending them to the right =P ==> the tabs are still inverted, but that shouldn't be hard to fix, right? Tab to the right => Rudder to the left Tab to the left => Rudder to the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
