Porter PC-6 drift problem
Hi guys,
I recently purchased the Porter PC-6. Think I did all the right things, like reading the manual etc. I set the trims as advised apart from the rudder trim 7 degrees right, reason being I cannot find any way to set it. I've been over the flight deck/instrument panel many many times, but cannot see where to/how to set this. I only see the stab/elev adjustment, no rudder or vertical stab if you prefer. This is not a particularly easy plane to fly, so I have followed your advice and ensured the trim settings are correct before taking off. My flights so far have been okay, except the plane keeps wanting to drift to the left. I assume that had I been able to set the rudder trim to the 7 degrees recommended, this would not happen. I tried to add a trim adjustment through P3Dv4.5 controls, but for some reason it wont let me nominate a button on my Thrustmaster joystick. Could somebody help with this please.
Thanks
Don

Ten day turn around to get a reply, wow that's service. remind me not to bother with Milviz products again. Had this problem with your support before, guess I just don't learn. You don't live up to the blurb on your website about "best products and service".

Hmmm, you do know that there is a global Covid-19 pandemic and many of us - despite living in different countries and time zones - have been just a bit busy locating and stocking up on critical supplies before wherever we live was going to go into total lockdown? I've been on total home confinement for the past week.
The rudder switch location is in the manual so we provided the information.
