I rudder trim religiously. I've been reading quite a bit about this issue with 182's apparently its common. With no one true "fix". I would still like to talk to a mechanic that is familiar with Cessna fuel systems.

So a quick follow up. It turns out that I do have a fuel flow issue that has been getting worse. The right tank will not drain on until the left is below 50%. If I select the right tank fuel flows normally. Since I started managing for this problem I have had no further AP issues. Now how do I...

I will try that on the next cross country. I am sure that the 750 was feeding it GPS information rather than RNAV I double checked that.
