Plane turning wrong way
Posted: January 26th, 2018, 12:53 pm
My plane is turning right instead of left. And suggestions to help it turn left?
Ethan:
1. Your tail (rudder/vertical fin) should be offset slightly left. Maybe 3 degrees or so
2. Your horizontal stab, when looking from the rear, should be tilted relative to the wing, with the left tip slightly higher. Maybe 10 degrees to start
3. You may want a slight left thrust, but we have not seen that needed with the smaller props
4. Look at your wing from front or back, make sure the wing is straight. A high LE on the left, or low on the right, could cause it to bank right. Some people run a little right bank to offset let torque on high torque launches, but not everybody does that
