Flew my new scout a few times and it always hooks to the left on take off. I have been using launch control with the Arua. After I get it flying it’s controllable but it does still hang left some. Really the only way I feel I am keeping control is I built this one with alerons so I can bank the plane and not just using rudder.
So I started reading here and most talk about making sure the thrust angle is correct. So I pulled the power pod and there seems to be no angle at all when I check it with a square. Either side of the power pod. I did assemble the firewall with the A pointing to the front of the plane.
This was built from a kit, so what gives? Is the thrust angle so slight that I cannot see or measure it with a square (I’m chuckling as I write that statement). So either the kit is bad and not getting cut correctly or the Simple scout has no thrust angle on the power pod.
If it does need thrust angle what is the correct angle for the simple scout?
