You dont mention in your fault finding, the coarse mechanical trim
wheel in the yoke housing.
Can you confirm this is centred?

Another day and another problem! This time it's my CH USB Yoke.
For about a week now I've found that leaving the yoke hands free
results
in the aircraft slowly banking and turning to the right. It happens
with
a variety of aircraft, so it's not aircraft.cfg induced.
I've allocated a couple of keys to aileron trim but they have no
effect.
I've recalibrated several times. No effect.
I've recalibrated, pressing a button to indicate the yoke is
centred,
whilst actually holding it in the approx position needed for level
flight, in the current situation.
I'm beginning to suspect the inabillity to trim, or calibrate, out
points to the Yoke internals as the culprit.
I seem to recall someone on the list trying to open up the yoke,
with
explosive results! So, the only idea I have is to try squirting
electrical cleaner into it.
Anyone any ideas please? I've had the yoke since the USB Yoke first
came
out, so perhaps it's just knackered!
