I have problem with JF Pa-28 Arrow III at take off and landing. During taxi everything is fine, once I incrase throttle to about 85-95% for take off, aircraft goes hard to right, I need to apply almost full rudder to counter it. When I add rudder, than ‘‘force’’ which pushed me to right, pushes mo …

This is a known issue discussed at length here: [image] PA-28R Arrow III from Just Flight Aircraft looks great and will be released shortly, excited to hear some thoughts and first impressions = who’s getting it or even who has already tested it?

TL:DR - it’s a known characteristic of the Arrow, the nose wheel gets into an uncontrollable wobble. The trick is to start your takeoff roll around 60-65 knots before that kicks in.

Trim nose up for take-off, if you are flying at the default loading, the CG is towards the front of the allowed range. With both front seats occupied, our testers gave a trim position in real life somewhere in the aft half of the trim range (from memory, it was something like 9 turns forwards, 18 tu…

[image] GrimPhoenix9349: Something in the ground handling is odd when pressure is put on the nose wheel, and I haven’t been able to work out why. It only really occurs with a strong enough crosswind. If the wind is directly on the nose no wobble is felt, no matter how long you leave it befor…

If all else fails, contact Just Flight’s support directly and they will hopefully help you get sorted out. Their forums are great resources for questions like this as well.

[image] vedran136: once I incrase throttle to about 85-95% for take off, aircraft goes hard to right Could you be more precise? The issue others described does not kick in immediately when pushing the throttle but at around 60kt IAS shortly before you’d pull to rotate. The way you describe …

Yes, it is around rotation speed that it occurs. A video I shot before, for a related issue, showed that the crosswind was at maximum strength around 70kts, but the wobbles I felt from gusts were lower than that, closer to 41kts I think, but that was more down to an issue with Asobos implementation…

Slight nose up trim before take off will help a lot.

I had a flight today slight wind from the left but still it had a tendency to roll left. I had a same sized copilot with me and used the left tank first so I can’t really understand it especially as I was levelled out and taking it easy … VFR no auto pilot
