I need to dig up this thread with a question.
Does anyone notice significant yaw-pitch coupling on their Trojans? It might just be something which is present only in our model since it's been through a bit over the years but now that I've been flying it a bit more lately I've noticed that when I nudge the rudder, it yaws alright but the nose drops quite a lot also. Being mode 2 I can be sure that I'm not accidentally touching the elevator stick, it's all coming from rudder only and it's not subtle either. I can live with it (because in every other respect the plane is perfect to fly) but when I'm on late finals and need to account for a bit of drift to line up on the runway, I've got to be ready for the nose to drop. Does anyone else see this?
