I was sure earlier...... also the gear on the left side does not spin

Some joysticks can reverse the aeleron inputs if they get an error or load wrong config file.
My Cougar has done it several times, which is why i always check control response before rolling now.
Doubt its AH2's fault.

Works correctly for me. Move joystick right, right aileron comes up and right wing goes down.

Strato so your saying if you move your stick right then the right aileron goes down and the left goes up?

Stratocaster · « **Reply #9 on:** March 20, 2004, 07:05:31 AM »

no the other way./

Strato if you move your stick to the right and the right aeleron goes up.... then that is correct.

Strato when moving your stick right if the left aileron goes down and the right goes up that is correct. The left aileron down position causes lift on the left wing while the right aileron in the up positions causes drag on the right wing forcing it down. The end result would cause a right aileron roll. This is infact correct placement of the surfaces.
