I have a Dynon D180 in my RV-7A and have a question about the Slip/Skid ball on the bottom of the display. This picture below shows the Slip/Skid ball to the right of the center line as it sits on the ground. I have looked at several pictures and all show it centered when on the ground. Also when I am flying it is still to the right side of the center portion and when I try and bring it back center I feel that I am way out of trim. As I fly straight and center with the ball to the right, I feel that I am flying straight with the plane not out of trim. I have looked at the manual and have not found any adjustment in the settings to bring it centered.
I plan on calling Dynon when I go out the airport but thought I would ask the question here if it comes out to be something simple. I did not build the plane so I am not sure where the Dynon gets the information for the Slip/Skid Ball and that it might come from a peripheral device that is installed in the plane. So any suggestions would be helpful.
I also notice that the horizon shows a little attitude high and left hand turn too.
