Right Side Elevator Trim Slightly Higher

Post by Texoma »

Ever since I bought my new C182 for P3D v4, I've noticed a slight bank to the right.
After inspecting the plane's elevator trim, I can see why. I just don't know how to fix it.

That is how the elevator trim system works on the 172 and 182. The trim tab is only located on the right elevator.

I would double check control calibrations and sensitivity settings.

Also check if you have a key binding for neutralizing the various trim axes. It is possible for the FSX trim axes to be used desire the A2A, as well as the real, aircraft not supporting a particular trim axis.

Oh, so only the right elevator trims. Interesting. So that means a trimmed elevator is always going to make the aircraft lean left or right?

No it won't, there just isn't sufficient moment from that small surface, and by design it is finding a somewhat aerodynamically neutral position in the airstream.

The tab is about 4"x12" based on memory.
