Default Turning radius lesson....

I have about 16 flights in on my Aerostar .25
My instructor suggested I check my front wheel by rolling the plane down the driveway.
I was surprised how far off it was. I adjusted the linkage until it rolled straight. This should help my takeoffs.
A simple thing I never thought of. I was not aware how sensitive the front wheel is. rolling it in the driveway I could see how tight it turns.
I also moved to connection to the inner most hole on the servo. this should make it less sensitive....

Funny when I was setting this plane up I was concerned because I though there was not enough turn on the front wheel....
