RE: Right thrust?
Bought a nextstar when I went to glow type aircraft. Found it very easy to assemble and looked a high quality RTF kit. Went to the field where experienced pilots helped me taking off and landing.
The aircraft was having a very clear tendency to turn to the right (quite a bit) on take off and once 10 mtrs off the ground it was fine. Did low passes and everything was just dandy. Started an assited take off, rotated and the right wing went down quite a lot, corrected and went all the way to the other side and the airplane was so low I could not take it out. Left wing touched the ground, the aircraft flipped twice.
Damage was limited to engine and firewall being ripped. Probably will be ready to fly for next week end. Should I be able to correct the freaking tendency to turn right on rotation, the aircraft is a beauty.
The Instructor's diagnostic is that the right thrust setting is just too much to the point it was making the airplane do what I described above. He put a washer between bulkhead and the right mounting screw and it corrected a bit, yet not enough as the incident still happened.
