Default Steering problems during take off.

P factor is the tendency for the aircraft to yaw left as power is applied. You have to have right thrust to correct this. Usually it is preset for the engine specified in the plans. Many times you have a larger engine than specified by the plans and you have to make adjustments to the thrust angle to compensate for the increased torque.
