During my checkout in my 180B I took feet off rudder pedals and randomly experienced a yaw like someone pressed on the left rudder - straight & level flight, although turbulent. The instructor & I looked at each other as if the other had done this on purpose. I corrected it with small amount of right pedal and it was fine afterwards - did not need to leave right pressure in at all. My question: I have the knots 4u wheel pants, the nose fairing has the the aft fin/extension, Would this fin potentially act as a rudder?
During this flight I was also playing with rudder trim for first time. Not sure if that would potentially be a factor in the equation?
Thanks, everyone!
