hi i have just bought a new trainer the nova 40 and i went to fly it and about the first 5-8 feet on full throttle the plane turns left and have used my right alot and it still does not take off straight and im too scard to see what would happen if i let it take off with it turning left. please any ideas on why my plane is doing this could u please let me know. thanks

a lot of planes do it,it's because of the motor torque amongst other things,try to use less throttle when taking off,i had a nova 40 with a super tigre 45 and i always used to use no more than half throttle for taking off.

Jay,
ALL planes pull to the left during the take off run to some degree or other. It's normal, and counteracted with right rudder.

You need to find help, like a local club instructor. As you've discovered, handling a glow plane is herder than it looks, or than you might think. If you're having that much trouble on the ground, it'll be five times worse in the air, and you're most likely to wind up with a pile of sticks about 10 seconds after take off.

If you were in the US I could give you a link that would help find a few local clubs. I have seen a few others on RCU from Ireland, so hopefully one of them will respond.

Good luck, and welcome to RCU.
