Has he tried any high speed taxi runs? I don't mean one or two, but a lot to wittle down the possibilities? Dick

Or the motor is left? Quoting darichardson75 <darichardson75@...>:

A couple of other things he might want to check. Larry has an O200 on his plane so it's going to want to go to the left if encouraged. He might want to check and see that his nose gear was

maybe he has a moving gear attachment problem like I had. If he does, attempts to align the wheels would not help for very long. If he is running a VW and if he has toe-brakes, maybe his rudder

Thanks Dave, Those have all been checked. E

I had the same problem, I first shimmed the left wheel out on the front (toe out), taxi tested, then shimmed the right wheel in. Ended up with the same toe in but the plane taxied straight and was

Larry Try reflexing the aelerons. With aelerons flush there is too much lift on the main. Touch the brakes and the tail lifts too easily and you could have a problem. (based on my Q , 1 POB) Peter

Where in Florida is this plane located? Would he be willing to fly to Sebastian (X26) so we could take a look and maybe put our guru in it for a taxi test.

Earnest, Do you know if he checked the toe in relative to the centerline of the fuselage or just relative to each other or the gear? Could it be possible the main gear is not mounted square in the

Is the tracking error the same on acceleration as on deceleration? Could it be that the thrust of the propeller is pulling the plane in the direction of error? Does the plane fly in a crab as

I got a call from Larry Covey a triq builder from Florida. He has been fighting with a problem for quite some time with his plane pulling to the left on the runway. It is bad enough that he has

I plan to do that; however, according to comments on X-Plane.org, the problem exists in X-Plane for all plane models under 2000 lbs T/O weight. The same problem happened with a KR2 model using X-Plane

Convert it to tricycle undercarriage? Sorry, could not resist... Check to see if your brakes are set on or off. John

That 1000-1100FPM rate is near sea level, and there would be a strong case for a CS prop for high altitude fields, which we often forget as we have none.. Peter _____ From:

Richard, You will get at least 1000FPM climb with a fixed prop. A CS prop will not give you a better max cruise speed I think the CS option is only justified if you need a better climb
