Cherokee 180

One thing that bothers me about the 180 we're getting is that it seems to
take almost full left rudder trim to keep the plane tracking straight with 2
people up front & both tanks full. Is that something that's easily fixed?
Keep trim where it is but reset the trim knob to center to allow for more
travel?

We hope to close on Friday. Now I just gotta get CFI endorsement for the
insurance so I can get the damn thing home!

And, BTW: did you know there is a rudder trim indicator on your 180?

Actually, didn't we determine that it is in fact a rudder trim control
indicator (i.e. indicates where the control currently is within its full
throw)? By way of contrast, I believe that the Cessna electric flap
position
indicator is actually attached to a cable on the flap, so that the
position
indicated reflects the actual flap position, regardless of where one
positions
the flap actuator ("she sells sea shells..."). Of course those that know
how
the Cessna mechanism works will understand why it has to be that way.
