I have around 5% throttle to rudder mix....Its a pretty normal thing to mix I belive, I simply mix untill a full throttle upline on a calm day powers straight with no right rudder. Nice to see you finally picked up an Edge!

Mine wanted to veer off to the left also on uplines. I added a small amount of right thrust using a couple of washers on the left mounting bolts. Now torque rolls are much easier with less agressive rudder input, and it also flies the uplines better. The only drawback is the spinner is off center from the cowl just a tad, but is hardly noticable unless you are close and looking for it.

The blue and white one is sold out till december at Chief Aircraft.
Guess I'll have to wait. I'll just get everything else ready to go for it. A friend of mine
is building the purple one right now. I'll fly his a few times to hold me over.
