Thanks. The first thing I thought about was a broken engine mount. But nothing
that I can see. (I had a friend tug on the prop from different angles to see if
anything popped open.)
As for the other catastrophic changes, since I didn't touch most of those, I don't
see how they changed.
But I have observed that an inner cowl hinge (one near the nose) has partially
broken thru. Been meaning to replace it. It's possible that that part of the cowl
could be opening up in flight, causing a yaw. (I would expect that I would
see that, or see some evidence of chaffing if it were lifting open.)
I'll report back if that fixes the rudder trim problem after I replace the hinge.
I don't like it when things suddenly change without an obvious cause.
