Default RE: Trimming


ORIGINAL: mck

I was trimming my pattern plane and I found I have to give left aileron trim to fly level upright. I then flew it inverted to check if it continued to fly straight and level. I found the plane tends to roll to the left. I thought this would suggest that the right wing side is heavy. When I checked it, I found that the left wing side is heavier! Any one out there has come across this experience and found the cause and solution? Appreciate your help on this.
Sounds like you have a rudder trim problem, vertical stab alignment problem or too much right thrust on the engine.
