Hi All,
Aftre testing it with 3.8 degree it still need right rudder trim to fly straight on the uplines !!!!!
also i didn't notice any real change between 2.8 to 3.9 ! is that make sence ?

Thanks Shlomo.

Hi Shiomo,
it sounds really strange to me that you don't notice any benefit from this amount of right thrust...

How are you evaluating it?

IMHO you should not check if the rudder is aligned or a bit off, this may be due to other factors. I would first trim the rudder in a straight and level flight and be sure that the plane is flying straight. Then check your verticals.
