I know this is probably a silly question that everyone asks.
Is it possible that the gyro/ accelerometers are installed crooked in my early model D10A. I've finagled with is significantly over the years and it still requires significant roll bias and yaw bias (yaw) to make the skid ball and horizon center. I've trimmed the airplane in yaw to zero and skid and checked with a yaw string. The skid ball doesn't match by a full ball. The roll is obviously harder to measure in flight, but level on the ground and what appears to be level in flight also disagrees with the D10A. I expect the airplane to be crooked to an extent, but not 10deg in each axis. Thoughts?
