Ok so i got the plane from Central Florida avionics in Leesburg and after a lot of maintenance the ap works now, the gs will be captured.
The altitude is held quite good but the airpleane trims nose up excessively, so much that when ap is disconected the airplane will climb violently if you dont hold
the yoke with quite a force.
If ill trim it myself and then engage ill gain two or three knots but the ap will eventually trim again nose up.
Is this normal? does this have to do with control rigging?
Another issue, ive installed an Aspen PFd as some of you know and the ball is showing slightly to the left, but i feel the airplane is straight.
Should i ask my avionics guy to try to recalibrate it? I know some of the pFD balls are inaccurate.
Ill try doing some videos tomorrow.
