Tom,
It does not carry any rudder trim either.

A neat radio trick that I use on pattern planes is to use less physical right-thrust. Then program in some right rudder incrementally above 5/8-3/4 throttle to keep it straight on the big up-lines etc,

My VISION does not need this "help". I hope you can figure out what is causing yours to do this?

Angus,

I'm leaving the nose weight in (13oz), and I can remove it in increments of just a couple ounces at a time. It's balanced just behind the back edge of the CG "range" in the manual. It may be as far back as I can go, but if it feels OK after a few flights I will start droping an ounce or two at a time until she says "uncle."

How much do you think you can change that right thrust without the spinner getting way out of wack to the cowl? Oddly, from Eric's post, it didn't sound like he had an issue with right thrust? If a hover was nearly "hands off" as he said, then I wouldn't think he was getting the pull to the left?
