Lite Stik turns to the right.

[krisI.925]

Iv been enjoying my lite stik and kinda lerning to fly on it but it keeps on turning to the right for some reason. I havent really has much time to look at it cause of school and my job and all but schools almost out. Everything seems balanced and the rudder seems ok. Am i missing something?

try trimming left rudder into it
if yu have done that checkyour wing dyhedral to make sure its even

do you know what trimming is?


are the elevator and wing straight (with out twists) and are they symetric to each other (sighting from tail to nose like aiming a rifle) if they are is the rudder perfectly perpendicular?

maybe the motor is pithced too much to the right

maybe the motor is pitched too much to the right

there are alot of things that can cause a plane to veer just in its set up

What Air Warrior said. :) If you can't get it straight by trimming check everything he mentioned.

Kris 'n everybody,

One thing that's easy to overlook, and I'd been modeling for an embarrassingly long time before I caught on, is lateral balance. It may be something as simple as one wing being heavier than the other, and with a light, slow flier, this can make a difference.

So support the model upside down using the prop bass and whatever's handy in the back, use a bit of modeling clay or a bit of pounded solder on the light tip.
