RE: Hard time taking off
I want to thank you all for all the information you have given here. I am on grass and the runway is kind of narrow, at least I think so. It is a tricycle. I have just turned everything on, lined up the rudder and mechanically adjusted the nose wheel so that it rolls straight when I push it or let it roll down the driveway. That's were it is staying. The main wheels seem to be straight ahead or somewhat towed in. The transmitter has an adjustment for the front wheel/rudder and I have made that the least sensitive that it can be made. I am going to try to get out to the field tomorrow and practice running that plane up and down the runway with wing attached and hope to get a better feel as Britbrat says to just put pressure on the stick rather than pushing it all around. I am 63 years old and know that the refex is not like a 20 year old kid, but I am so close to flying on my own that I can taste it. Retired, less than five miles from the field, how lucky can you get. Again, thanks to everyone that has responded.
