JP,
I have the XP-400 in my small tail 360, and I use
quite a bit of right rudder during during the initial stages of the takeoff
roll. With any amount of left crosswind, I also have to tap the right brake once
or twice to keep my tracking straight. It's not unmanageable at all, but it does
require attention.
I wonder if you have some aligment issues with
your main wheels. How is tracking during taxi? I might have the same issue
during taxi, as I have to poke the right brake every so often. However, I don't
have major issues on takeoff and landing as you seem to have.
I use flap for takeoff; I motor them down to be
even with a fully deflected aileron. I have not tried a takeoff with no
flaps.
I'm surprised that the prevoius owner is of no
help to you. This is one of the best communities out here, so I'm surprised.
Keep asking questions and we'll all try and help ya.
