Default RE: 12' Telemaster- gonna need help

Thanks for the replies. I seem to have developed a flying style where I always use the rudder, so hopefully I'll do ok on it. My other 50cc size plane is a Reactor that is 0/0 and it flies great, but it seems to me torque on take off seems to effect high wing planes more?

The other large high wing I have is a 110" Rascal with Syssa 30. It's an ARF, and it looks to have about 6 degrees right thrust built into it.

Anyway, I think I'll give 3 degrees a try. In any event, I suspect if you roll onto the throttle smoothly, if it does tend to pull left it won't be so abrupt you can't compensate.



The building table is 4' x 8'. I got a pair of flat hollow core doors that had been hinged in the middle from a building material recycling store. They are joined below by being screwed to some extruded aluminum angle. The legs are collapsing saw horses from Harbor Freight (they are really nice, and don't wobble on uneven surfaces.

The top surface is a 1/2" sheet of pink foam insulation from Home Depot, put on with 3M spray glue. The foam comes with a plastic membrane on one side, which needs to go on the bottom to keep the spray glue from eating the foam.

It could be a bit more solid, but holds pins OK. Mainly I use it because it is cheap, and easy to rip off and replace.
