When I fly at = 160 KIAS, I need no rudder. When I fly slower I need right rudder. When = I fly faster, I need left rudder. Does your plane behave like this? If = not something is wrong with either the rigging or the engine angle. At what IAS would you like your plane to fly straight? At the current = time, what IAS does it fly straight at?
