Sudden change in trim for no reason.

[Hunter_5E]

In the last week or so I've had this happen about a dozen times - in auto-hover and engaging targets or even sometimes just observing and suddenly the helicopter tilts to the right or left and starts drifting quite a bit. I re-trim whilst still in auto-hover and carry on but a few minutes later it will do the same thing to the other side. It's like it had a sudden trim change introduced for a few minutes then cancelled it out again. Always to one side then the other, never forward or back.

 

Weird thing is, it doesn't seem to happen to my flying buddy. Anyone else seeing this happen? I've been through all my controls and axis settings and have no conflicts. I do have Helios 1.3 running while flying.

 

Any ideas as to the cause?

 

EDIT: Went away for a coffee break and was thinking about it - suddenly dawned on me what the probable cause is. Been flying with unlimited weapons and fuel to allow us to concentrate on tactics. Could well be the sudden reloading of a rack on one side then a few minutes and six more vikhrs later, sudden reloading of the rack on the other side. When arming from empty on the ground there is a pronounced rocking of the aircraft as each rack goes on - they are pretty heavy and on the outboard racks. Reason my buddy doesn't see this is that he keeps getting shot down before he's used his original 12 missiles :D. We hunt major groups made up of the whole spectrum of SAM units. Good fun and survival practice.

 

Solved it hopefully...
