Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF

Mine tilted to the right also when doing a lateral balance. Took about a 1/2 oz of weight to correct it. I also added some fiberglass tape to the bottom of the firewall to give added strength.

Maiden report: It's a keeper for sure. Lined her up on the runway, takeoff was straight and true with no rudder input. Had to add about 4 clicks of up elevator though. This baby will KE on low rate. It has a lot of pattern characteristics to it. Very smooth and predictable. Landing was spot on...I just brought the throttle back and let her settle in on the mains...beautiful...no tendancy to drop like a brick either. [sm=thumbup.gif]
