Problem with pitch calibration and performance in Jabiru 430
cruise is ok
Pitch activation will work more efficiently in decent than climb
There appears to be some form of resistance
This is apparent when testing AP after calibrating
No problem with roll left and pitch forward
But pitch back movement after satisfactory roll to right does not exist
It appears to have excessive resistance at this stage
By removing significant trim resistance by taking tension of forward trim spring allows the calibration test to complete but of course with that trimming performance when not using autopilot is impeded
I dont think Im alone with this problem. It has been suggested there could be to much resistance in the pitch control cable
Any ideas out there :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/
:exclamation :-/
