U CAN DO right thrust ???
Hi guys, my ucan needs right thrust. Directions don't give an amount. In a up line the plane yaws left and stays that way even with 30 degrees of rudder. I am running a OS 120 pump engine so it does have some torque, the prop is a apc 16/6. Thanks in advance.

3 degrees is a good starting point. I have that and its just enough with my Saito 100. Let me know when and where you fly, maybe we can get our UCANDO's together for some formation hovering

RE: U CAN DO right thrust ???
The 3 degrees of rt thrust did the trick. Now it goes nice and strieght on uplines, it will also hover with very little rudder input. Another ? how much expo are you guys using on high rates? It seems like the the expo is causing me problems when the control surface starts to really move and deflect alot. This is knocking me out of shape causing some stick wipping, then its full throttle and head for high ground. Would turning down the expo help this problem if it could be controled? What you guys think?
Thanks Kent
