    Default Kitfox Engine Off Set Query

    Hi Everyone

    Although I am new to Kitfox I built and flew a Just Aircraft Sky Raider 2 for the last 6 years and have approx 300 hours. This aircraft had great stability and could be flown hands free. However I have recently bought a Mark 2 Kitfox and during flight with power experience a turn to the right which has to countered with the stick. When power is reduced to idle this problem is eliminated. To turn right with power, the turn requires co-ordination with LEFT rudder to balance the turn. The engine (582) has no off set, could this be responsible for the turn? Has anyone experienced similar problems and if so, how were they resolved?

    The aircraft was very well built and has flown only 400 hours.

    Regardless of this problem I love this aircraft.

    Thanks you very much in advance of any responses

    Fred
