Default can't hover because ?

I have a lanier edge 120 with an OS160fx that keeps pulling left when I apply throttle in a hover. I do have 2 degrees right thrust now. Do I need more right thrust? The more throttle I add the more right rudder I have to add. Help!!!

A friend of mine has the same plane and motor. When I hover his it does the same thing.

How much rudder travel do you have? He is maxed out on throw.

i would suggest a little more Right thrust and a little up thrust....Mine is the one wgeffon is talking about....mine does what yours is talking about and i have the Throws Maximized to try and compensate for it.....now that this is brought up to my attention ...I think i will get off my lazy butt and add some right thrust and a little up thrust to ...which IMO will Fix this problem....it is a Great airplane and does hover with ease ....i guess i am used to fighting it.....its time to fix the problem....I figured wgeffon would when i let him use it for the Big Bird fly in when he was waiting on his aeroworks....but with him flying it u can't really tell there was a problem!!

Thanks, do you think another 2 degrees is a good start or is that too much?

Take some washers to the field and spend the day getting it just right.
