I just bought the avistar ARF a couple of weeks ago and I, too, had the same problem. The flat part of the wheel gear, where the linkage hooks up, is off to one side, so when you hook it up, the wheel is turned one way. You have to hook up the wheel, straight, then hook up the rudder. I haven't done this yet and just adjust trim at take off, then readjust when I'm in the air, so the rudder is at neutral. Kind of a pain, but I think it is a manufacturing flaw with the front wheel rod.
.Hi orangeman ,
They all have that problem and it takes time but play with it and you can get it straight.
My problem on this one is that the wheel is binding with right rudder.
The shaft on the nose wheel feels like it's binding so i'l put the dremel tool to it.
The last adjustment is the linkage at the servo to the wheel.
Make sure al the slide switches on the TX are centered and readjust with the TX on.
BTW,
I always bend the rod so it makes the wheel want to run straight.
Sort of a camber adjustment.
GL with the plane & thanks for the post
