TraineeHas anyone downloaded the Maule m7-260? If so does it fly ok? I have downloaded this plane and it wants to drift to the left for some reason, even going down the runway when taking off. Because none of the other planes do this it has me puzzled.
Thanks, George

The dirft is due to engine torque. This is the only flight sim that I've seen that simulates torque. As the prop spins in one direction the plane tends to rotate in the opposite direction. Thus, a slight banking (dirft) to the left. You correct with the rudders and rudder trim.
