Default Dutch Roll

This is straight out of book #9 ,IF-89-620, Tech Order Manual dated 28 Aug 1956. Dutch Roll is when the air-craft creates a yawing motion coupled with a roll action causing the air-craft to fish-tail or skid in a roll. I had one of our pilots write this up, said it happened when he engaged auto-pilot. Don`t remember what I did to fix it, probably changed pilots!! >>big max 1935
