I hear the term right thrust used from time to time
“Not enough engine right thrust.
During a steep climb, the model tends to pull up to the left as it loses speed.
Model tends to pull to the left near the top of a loop. “
What is right thrust????, is this the alignment of the engine on the fuselage which causes right thrust?
I looked in the RC glossary... maybe one to be added??
