I have 2 Raptors and 3 TSK 46s that I'm flying at the moment. Rolls with the Raptors are fine when to the left, nice and straight. When rolling to the right I end up nose high and almost at a stop. I mix up elevator with full right aileron and it helps straighten the right rolls a lot.
Same happens with stationary rolls. To the right it ends up nose high and to the left it stays level. That's without mixing. I haven't tried any with that yet.
The TSKs on the other hand are like on rails. Rolls either direction are in line with no mixing needed.
So what is going on? Just the geometry of the diferent types of mechanics?

Yeah, must be why I crash them so much.
At least I go out and fly them....
Did you check the servo directions on that Freya Chris? :spinnyeye

Scott did you trying messing with the phase on the raptor to see if you could mechanicaly mix out the pitch problem you are having.. I know i have had a few machines that if the phase is out it won't roll worth a damn... just something to look at..

I know I can change the phase on the TSKs but have no way to do that on the raptors that I'm aware of. I know the paddles are aligned and everything is straight. They fly straight and are usually pretty good in all but right rolls. I can manage it but, am just curious about what is going on.
