I have been studying film of recent flights and noticed that the C150m that I fly often drops the left wing slightly right after liftoff. Trying to figure out why.
It's actually from the dihedral which gives the right wing a higher angle of attack when yawed left. But same difference.It's not often talked about: you get a little proverse roll with the left yaw tendencies during the climb.
The airplane yaws left causing the right wing to move through the air faster than the left. The velocity difference yields more lift on the right than left and then rolls the airplane.
And a contribution of torque roll from the engine. The propeller is trying to stand still and spin the airplane.
Are you flying solo? You're on the left side... That would be my easy explanation
I will try this next time. Thanksyou need more right rudder.
Not a zoom climb.Is this a zoom climb?
As in pulling yoke back to quickly, early or too far?May be a little heavy handed on lift off.
Yeah, that. I knew people would jump on the right rudder thing, but really it only works like that if AoA is great enough. Otherwise puny O-200-A in 150 can't generate Right Turning Tendencies worth squat. Just let it fly on its own accord and not try to rotate like airliner and it'll fly level all day with minimum right rudder.As in pulling yoke back to quickly, early or too far?
I noticed that even compared to the 172 I used to fly, very little right rudder is needed. ThanksYeah, that.

I had the same issue.
The problem?
Without realizing it, when I pulled back on the yoke my left hand twisted. It turned the yoke. The plane turned left.
You aren't applying enough right rudder.
