I have rules for building my planes and rules for flying them that I never veer from.
Our runway is a North/South direction 700ft long. Now I fly patterns both ways obviously depending on the winds but on a Maiden I only will takeoff to the north since it is my more favorite direction. I also do not much wind on a Maiden. it cantake weeks for me to get oe up. I usually bring out the plane along with some others that I fly regularly and if things are right, up it goes, if not, I fly something else.
I have had planes that are no problem and others that hung a hard left turn as soon as the wheels left the ground. I recovered and turned out to be a great plane but darn near left a load in my pants.
