Default RE: VQ PILATUS PORTER PC-6 NEW COLOR SCHEME!

Mine has a fair bit of toe out. We have a synthetic grass strip. Mine is very sensitive to inputs on take-off. I need a bit of right rudder until the tail lifts and then ease off, or a smidgeon left. Failure to ease off right rudder results in a ground loop or a clumsy take-off at sub-optimal speeds as I veer off the strip. I imagine it wouldn't be so sensitive on a grass strip. It would probably be worse on concrete.

The Aussie Army version is illustrated at www.thehobbyspecialists.com.au (VQAO571). I hope it will look as good as the picture.
