With it set like that I'm sure the 'balloon was squeezed' some giving some side effects.
Of course the P schedules were mostly performed from upright and were simpler then also.
However when I went electric I found such a set up to have too many and too severe side effects so backed off some right thrust and used mixes to help.
I found the whole thing very very frustrating, as the balloon was squeezed either one way or the other.
I'm not sure why the difference, more prop and or more pitch on the E setup !!?? More gyroscopes on the YS (they oppose P effect) !!?? I gave up !!!!
So as soon as Brenner pop'd up here I made contact - went Contra and haven't looked back.

Hey Brian,
When I built my Valiant, I set the thrust to the nose of the model. Was running the 170cdi back then and it was very close. Going to the 175cdi and now the 185cdi, I've had to increase the right thrust, so most likely is pretty close to 3 deg. I've set my Xareltoo to 3 degrees, but hasn't flown yet.
The only time I've had problems when pulling or pushing, is when the stabs weren't set the same.
Not sure what you mean by "ballooning"?
I haven't got an electric, so can't really comment on what, if any differences there. But I think larger props and or pitch would affect it some. On the 185, I've actually reduced the pitch compared to what I used to run. Very happy with my set up now.
