Roll/Aileron trim
For years and years I have never been able to get the roll trim right in my Aztec. Even if I do get it right for one configuration it seems to be quite considerably affected by load (ie which side pax sit.)
The aircraft does not have internally adjustable aileron trim, only bendable tabs.
I have just had a top overhaul on one engine which resulted in a lot of single-engine runs which in turn meant that I took off today with a considerable fuel imbalance, which I fixed with crossfeed. I noticed a considerable change in aileron input during the crossfeed (it was all on outboard tanks) which set me thinking.
The question for this august forum is, is it legitimate to compensate for poor aileron trim by use of crossfeed, or will this create an out of balance/skid/sideslip?
TIA
