Default What should I be looking for?

After rolling out my superstar sellect trainer, when it is reaching flying speed, the left wing diggs into the ground so right aileron is a must in every take off. What should I be looking for to correct this tendency? It flyes level hand free after take off.

Thanks

cjposada,
Was this just one day at the field? Or has this happened more than one day? Was there a crosswind when you were flying it??

Might be your engines thrust angle , if you have hands off flight.

Might be you're leaving the ground before you have sufficent airspeed. Try holding it on the ground a little longer.

We had the wind comming down the runway all weekend long so I don't think this is an issue. I had to take the engine out to threadlock the motor mount. Since this is a clamp on mount I am going to doublecheck the engine's alignement.

Thanks for the input.
