Yup - been there done that. Auto pilots coupled up and all of a sudden it yaws about 45 degrees left and then straightened itself up. We left it coupled and then it happened again, so we uncoupled and flew home. If I remember correctly the factory set pedal friction was too tight and the autopilot over compensated for it.
