My plane turns to the left during takeoff. It can fly fine. The aircraft uses resizable wheels. Is there a way to stop this?
Thanks,

@ChiChiWerx that's how I built it, but it didn't seem to work. I could try and see if it's the rear wheels, which it may be. I'll test that hypothesis later.
@asteroidbook345 try doubling up the nose wheel, then nudging them together so that they appear as one. Also, a weight imbalance between the two sides can also cause veering. My advice, of course, tends to assume a neat/symmetrical build technique, though the sideways traction thing fixes swerving all other things being done correctly.
@ChiChiWerx I did it on my MiG-15 and it's still turning though. I find it ironic I'm having the same problem but still giving advice about it.
What @asteroidbook345 said. Making sure the nose wheel is centered and the main wheels are precisely opposite each other is important, but it really does come down to lowering the traction on the nose/front wheels. I do that for all my builds and it’s a life saver.
Just check aliment I had same prob front wheel was off center
Lower the sideways traction on the front wheels, increase it in the back.
