Checking rudder trim movement

Recommended Posts

I bought the airplane in August, and there has been no change in its behavior, but as I've become more familiar with it, I realize that some improvements could be made.  To Dick's question about adjustments made, I considered adjustments to the NW links ("fine adjustments") but realized that the right side was already at the end of its adjustment (all the way in), and couldn't be moved in the direction I thought was needed.  Also, when I raised the NW and saw that the rudder was biased to the left, it appeared to me that the NW and its fairing were nicely centered.  So perhaps having my repairman make an adjustment to the stop plate as Dick suggests would be in order.  

 

Thanks

John

I'll throw 2 more things out there that should be checked before making adjustments. 

1. Does your airplane have the tow lugs on the nose gear? If it does something could be bent from over turning the nose gear on the ground.

2. I doubt that it is, but make sure the rudder cable is not off the pulley on trim mechanism.
