nexstar problems
Hi, I have already graduated past the nexstar level and now am flying 3d, but I was wondering about the nexstar. one of my fellow pilot's nexstars pulls to the right while on the ground and only at high throttle. I figured it was engine torque, except that engine torque pulls to the left. we checked the nosegear, and it is completely straight, in fact, it taxis without pulling to either direction. I know that it is not the nosegear, though, because the plane continues to pull right throughout most of the climb unless the pilot corrects for the stray movement. throughout flight, though, it flies completely straight. So it is not the wind, because we have tried taking off with a crosswind to both sides of the wing, and it still pulls right. Also, it is not the nosegear, and not the engine torque, so does anybody have any idea what it is?
The problem was so severe that the plane actually took off accidentally through the pilot box and hit a pole......but kept on flying fine. hahaha that's really weird but yet so true.
