My 250 yaws to right even with full left rudder?

Post by kberg »

Hi All,

This was happening before the new update. I just finished installing new update 4-13-17, and tried it again. Whether I am climbing out on takeoff, or in straight and level flight, my 250 wants to yaw to the right, even when I put in left rudder. It even happens when I have autopilot on it still want to turn. This is very different from before, and I do not think I have changed any FS settings. It was flying straight with altitude trimmed as if it was on autopilot.

I took it to the shop to see if there was something wrong with any of the control surfaces, but it said everything was great!

Not sure what to check next? :cry:

Thanks, Kent.

Hi,

Sorry about that. My left tip tank was empty. :oops: I just went up for a quick flight and did not check my fuel. Don't tell my flight instructor :oops:

Nor did you do a walk around!!!!It could have been a loose rudder that broke off in flight,but then you would not need ask.

Cheers Chris

hehe always the little things that catch us out. As speedy mentions, don't forget that preflight walk around and checklists.

thanks,
Lewis

And I've flown with one tip tank empty and another one full, and did note the flight physics so we got it right when this happens :)
