Interested to see where this goes. Full left rudder trim is required on mine to keep it straight, 1971 T337F. It came to me that way I only have about 20 hours of flight time in it. It was on the list of things to address but the front engine gave out before I got to it. She's been down for a bit but should be up again in a couple months.

Hi Kevin,
Havnt done the symmetry check on the booms as yet, but will put it on the list to look at and report further. Paul, Your issue might be the nose wheel steering interfering with the rigging of the rudders when the nose gear is retracted. There is a note in the manual after the rudder rigging procedure about after a check flight if you see the rudder trim out to the left, you have to check the interaction between steering and trim. Of interest, out of the 4 manuals I have for various models of the 337, only 2 of the manuals had the note about the trim. If you dont have that section in your manual, let me know and will send you a PDF of the relevant page. And yes, we tried that and it made it better, but still heavy left wing. Will advise if we know more rob |

I know some Cessna's have an adjustment at the spar attachment with the wing that allows you to increase or decrease the pitch of the wing (I'm probably not describing that correctly), but if the wings aren't set the same, you can experience a heavy wing situation. There is some kind of cam shaped adjustment there that can be rotated to make this adjustment.

Here is a video that explains it. I don't know if this is relevant to the 337.

Hi Kbecker,
Yep, thats how its done on the 100 series strutted aircraft, alas the 337 does not have the cam system used on it so cannot adjust, Thanks for thinking of us though. Rob |
