Default More issues with hooking violently right on takeoff

Turns out that last night the Eagle63 was hooking violently right on takeoff most of the time. EXCAP232 helped diagnose the problem and it turns out that what was probably happening was I had too few rubber bands on the wing and they were older ones that had been stretched many times. He informed me that when the plane starts to fly the wing was probably lifting off the fuse momentarily which explains why it flies great in the air but is so hard to take off. From now on I am going to always test to see how easy it is to lift the wing from the fuse before I fly.

I will let you all know what the test results are after my next flying session.
