Anyone tried this with their Bf-109? I just read in the current Oct issue of Model Aviation magazine that you should put a small weight in or on the right wing tip, to counter the powerful torque, on takeoff. Before I fly mine, I'm thinking of doing this. Does anyone out there have experience with a torque to roll left?

What happenes when you come off the throttle......? it will always want to drop the heavier wing. including during a stall...
You normally offset the fin to counteract torque. I have a few models with a fair bit bigger motors than what is recommended and torque has never been a big problem. Low, Slow, and slamming the throttle might get you into trouble, but easing the throttle and your away.
Thanks
