Default Dively Pitts problem

Just flew my Dively Pitts today, The Brison 6.4 was more than adequate power. The problem I had was the airplane took off and went into a left bank, I corrected with ail. trim, all was fine until I powered back, then I had a right bank. I haven't looked into it yet but my feelings are a warped wing, the upper left wing leading edge did look like it was pitched down. how about some feedback, any would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Guy, Make sure your elevator isn't warped. It will do the same thing. Widgeon AMA8093

Frank;

Try adding some right thrust to your engine. That should be all it takes....

...the upper left wing leading edge did look like it was pitched down.
I think I can see one of reasons right here. Have you set the plane up and checked all the incidences? Have you checked the incidences at several places on the wings? It is critical that you have the wings set to the correct incidence and have the same incidence in the entire wing. The only warp allowed would be a deliberately designed in decreased incidence in the tips to reduce any tip stall tendencies.

Set the plane up on a good surface and check these things, and fix whatever discrepancies you find. Your plane will turn from a tiger into a kitty cat and will be a lot more fun to fly.
