Composite-ARF Impact question

[ray ayestaran]

I noticed mine has the same technological built in advantage, since in
pattern it is very likely that airspeed and throttle position move in the
same direction this counter measure when combined with a little right engine
thrust angle and a little right rudder mix to throttle will eliminate our
yaw prob - brilliant
