Danb Posted June 15, 2023 Report Posted June 15, 2023 My Bravo taxied straight as an arrow as did my J Model on a windless day, my Acclaim not so much. I need fair left rudder to keep it straight. Not an issue on takeoff. Opinions would be helpful. DB Quote
exM20K Posted June 15, 2023 Report Posted June 15, 2023 Mine is straight enough that I don’t notice having to exert rudder pressure. Where is your rudder trim during taxi? -dan Quote
Danb Posted June 15, 2023 Author Report Posted June 15, 2023 I’ve tried different locations, generally to the right, most likely I’ll have to make it centered or on the left. I just recently fixed my pedals so now I’m more aware of it, prior I was having a hard time riding the brakes in the 3” pedal extensions. Quote
M20TN_Driver Posted June 15, 2023 Report Posted June 15, 2023 I'll check next time I taxi--I think mine required a fair amount of runner control and toe brakes to keep it straight. Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted June 15, 2023 Report Posted June 15, 2023 With the airplane on jacks, use a couple of bar clamps to clamp a 2X4 to the co-pilots rudder pedals to even them up. then eyeball the nose wheel, if it isn't straight, adjust the link to the steering horn till it is. If you have rudder trim, make sure it is centered. 1 Quote
Brandt Posted June 16, 2023 Report Posted June 16, 2023 Perfectly straight without intervention. Quote
Geoff Posted June 20, 2023 Report Posted June 20, 2023 As long as the rudder trim is centered it taxi's straight. A small amount of rudder trim either direction will drive me toward the grass. Quote
