Rudder setting

Darticus · 10-24-2008, 09:51 AM

I have a plane I built but wondered about setting rudder. My rudder has to be set to one side as in the pic included. When it flies the rudder straightens out and files normal but when I land it the rudder is set off like this. If I set the rudder straight to begin with it start turning and not flying straight. Anyone have a similar problem and what would be the fix for this. Thanks Ron

Looks like you need some right thrust added to your engine.

I think he is 'splainging the rudder deflects to straight in flight... it is an overall airframe stiffness issue I suspect.

Your right! It is straight as it flies but has to be turned to the side before flight for air to straighten and correct during flight. I guess something is weak. I might need some Carbon Rod to stiffen somewhere. It may be flex in the 20 inch music wire servo rod. Ron
