I was flying holds today with my flight instructor and the autopilot was working flawlessly. After about 8-10 laps in a holding pattern, the plane suddenly started to roll to the right. It would not hold level flight. The Gold controller would not roll the plane back to the left either. If you continue to roll the yoke to the stops on the right. We reset the breaker and cycled the autopilot a few times but it continue to immediately roll the plane to the right. Anyone else have problems like this before? Is there a "quick fix"? From some of the reading I've done it sounds like maybe a connection is bad but I'm not sure where to start. Thanks for the help.
