Slazi Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 I got a new set of pedals recently, and I am wondering how the unchained rudder should work. With the center ap channel on, the rudder pedals work I would imagine them to. However, switching on the left channel, yaw, the AP tends to lock the rudder pedals into different postions. I've noticed that moving the stick and re-trimming will change where the ap locks the rudder pedals. Switching off the yaw channel never releases the pedals. So if they are 75% left, I cannot properly counteract the forces from the main blades.
Flagrum Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Understanding the function of the foot switches of the rudder pedals in the Mi-8 might help understanding the helo's behaviour (or at least narrowing the issues down a bit). Maybe this helps: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1888125&postcount=2
Slazi Posted November 5, 2013 Author Posted November 5, 2013 It's good information, and connects to having the rudder chained. But if the rudder is unchained, it doesn't work like that.
