SHRIKE 40- TORQUE ON TAKE OFF IS SOOOOOOOOO BAD ITS LIKE A KNIFE EDGE 6" OFF THE GROUND
BALANCE IS RIGHT - RUNNING A OS LA 46 10X6 PROP
ITS JUST LIKE I HAVE TO SAVE IT ON EVERY TAKE OFF
ENGINE IS MOUNTED STRAIGHT TOO
ANY IDEAS ?.....THANKS IN ADVANCE
Here is my Shrike launch with no aileron correction. Using a 9x8 this time but a 10" prop worked well too. Wonder if the lack of power with the LA is part of the problem? Mine has a Sport Jett engine.
