Porter PC-6 drift problem
Posted: Sat Mar 14, 2020 10:16 am
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
