All,

72 PA28R-200 - Recently was in for Mx had the wing walk replaced. They removed the wing, new aileron cables and installed a Vizion TruTrak.

Since I have gotten it back from Mx, I have put about 7 hours on it without a single issue, it flew great, straight as an Arrow (lol).

Yesterday, I took off with an uneventful climb up to 2kAGL flicked on the AP with GPS NAV selected and it started rolling right and would not hold the course at all.

I clicked off the AP, started hand flying the airplane and if you let go of the yoke, it immediately wants to roll right quickly.

I have powered off the AP via the switch. No Change (Which you can see it's off in the video)
I have manipulated the Rudder trim to confirm ball centered no change.
Nothing in the airplane has changed. Equal fuel in both tanks.

Here is a vid. I let go of the yoke straight and level.


Thanks in advance
Matt
