Re: [Flightgear-devel] Bank angle problem?

[Curtis O. <cur...@gm...>]

Have you checked if your props are spinning?  They can generate some
significant asymmetric effects when they are moving (both in terms of torque
and in terms of a spiralling prop wash.)

Also, our c172 is trimmed to fly pretty straight in level cruise, but that
means it won't fly exactly straight in any other regime.

Regards,

Curt.
