My son and I just watched Top Gun again tonight. Afterwards we immediately went downstairs and fired up the Tomcat only to be greeted with contentious CTD. We’re most displeased..

Yup, that's exactly what it was. The physical trim on the stick got knocked every so slightly. Doh! :doh: Thanks for the tip!

Not F/A-18 but an excellent read on modern aerial warfare nonetheless; Vipers in the Storm: Diary of a Gulf War Fighter Pilot by Keith Rosenkranz. Just noticed Raven One is available on Kindle Unlimited, will check it out - thanks!

Mine has a hard right roll immediately after takeoff, have to add lots of left aileron trim once I get her cleaned up in the air. All controllers (full CH setup) are calibrated, no wind factor, not sure if it's something I'm doing incorrectly or if something else is causing this.
