Default HobbyZone SuperCub turning problems



Its been awhile since i posted here,anyway I have a hobbyzone supercub lp 3 channel and the darn thing is just hard to turn,bank or pull out of a right handed turn..It dosnt respond at all to the rudder movenment..I guess im asking what is better to have it turnable or manuverable with more tail weight or more nose heavy? Its like the rudder yaw has no effect but a little, the rudder is able to move both ways to where it just about touches the elevator..Any help on why i cant turn much or pull out of a turn more rapidly..Thank you!</p>

Check to see if the rudder servo is securely mounted and not shifting its position.

yes both servos are glued in securely...when ever i go into a right hand turn or spin it just dosent want to come out of it or counter the turns..I have to like keep cranking on the rudder control with either up or down elevator to like whip it out of the turns...

Could be. Check the CG against the manual

If the rods aren't flexing, and the CG is within range...

Check motor right thrust to see if its excessive (ex. does the same behavior present when power is off), and make sure the wings aren't warped.

Verify balance side to side... fore or aft wight is not your issue. If its only one direction as severe as you state its not a CG issue. I doubt its a left right balance issue either or you would need quite a bit of trim for level flight which you haven't mentioned. I forget which side the horn is on.... is the right hand turn a pull or push on the rudder.. I am guessing a push. I agree you may have a pushrod flex issue when the rudder is under load from flight. So while it looks fine moving back and forth on th ground.. put a little force on it with your hand and watch the ushrod for bowing.

It was the the angle of my wings,after being broke i had too much of a downward bow to both ends of the wing....I guess its called the diahdal or whatever that word is....
Thank you all for the advice...
