Default Problem with slow stick

You're right.. I meant I have to apply right rudder to straighten the flights. I made sure the rudders are straightly aligned before flights so I really am not sure why the plane still turns to the left. I think the plane's balance is ok as it doesn't tilt to either side when I balance them. I do notice that a very slight, almost unnoticable, down twist on the tail end of the right wing (compared to the left one). Could this be producing the left turn on my flights? If so how could I correct this?
Thanks again!

Jodan,

It might be. I dont know anything about slow stiks. If you really wanted to and thought it might help, you could just buy a new main wing. Only thing I can think of now is the motor angle. If YOU actually mounted the motor on it, is it possible you didn't account for the angle of the motor? I know on my mini piper the angle of the motor is down and to the right. Perhaps check to see if thats mentioned anywhere in your instructions. If it isn't that, then I can't really help ya. I'm pretty new to the hobby myself
