I have been working on flying this bird for a while but was curious if you all get this phenomena while taking off? Basically as the plane starts to generate lift and wheels begin to leave the ground, I always get a slight roll to the left. This normal expected behavior?

Re: P51 Roll during take off
Looks like you are rotating a bit early. You're getting a bit of torque roll as your angle of attack increases as you rotate. Try holding it on until you have at least 100mph. Then rotate slowly.deltaleader wrote:I have been working on flying this bird for a while but was curious if you all get this phenomena while taking off?
