Any insight to what I'm doing wrong here would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to get my new LGC 15 working right but I'm wondering if the gyro is borked or something.

On the main screen, when I apply brakes, you can see that one brake is applied significantly harder then the other. This occurs on startup, after plugging in the power and no yawing has occurred. I've been very careful to make sure I don't move the plane at all. The brake limit on both sides is the same.

Also, heading hold or proportional doesn't appear to change the behavior, I would have thought HH would try to return the plane to a heading but it does not, just applies the brake for a second and reverts to the previous state vs holding in that state until the plane is back on the heading. That's not how HH works on my helis. So maybe I have two problems, I don't know.

If I set the brake gyro to 0, of course it shows the bars even. It's like gyro is not re-centering.
