Aileron problem

[vienna]

hi all

 

i started the 340 the first time today, used the checklist, and all went fine.

but after i took of, i rolled to the right, and had to countersteer hard.

 

so i started from the beginning and after engine start complete i went to external view and i saw something strange, ...the ailerons on both wings were not in neutral position.

left aileron was pointing downward, right aileron pointing upwards, aprox. half way.

 

i tried to trim them on the pedestral panel with the trim handles, but no effect.

any idea on this?

Are you using any hardware? i.e.. yoke, joystick, etc. ?  If so, please check your calibration(s).

Hi

 

i calibrated the joystick, and with all other aircraft it works fine. except with the saab 340....it always starts to turn to the right after take/off.

another fact, the ailerons are centered, when i put throttle to idle and plane comes to a stop, but then, when i increase thorttle to taxi, i see ailerons moving....right goes up, left goes down.

 

i guess, i forgot sonething to set?

 

thanks for help.

 I don't know what the problem could be.  No one else has reported this.  There is absolutely NO relationship between the throttles and ailerons in the Saab 340.

okay i think i got it.

somehow (i didnt set them at all) the yaw and ailerons were set on sliders in my joystick mapping. again, i didnt set them at all, since i only installed the aircraft and then i just powered it up.

so no joystick adjustment was taken.

but maybe....i installed a helicopter (BK-117) and made some joystick button adjustment. maybe there the sliders jumped into the mapping (cant imagine how) but since then i had the problem.

i set the trimms of aileron and yaw to NONE on the joystick mapping and it seems to work now.

 

sorry for the inconvinience.

No problem.  Glad you got it worked out.
