How to prevent torque roll when hovering

Anyone can share

Try to hover my AirFoilz YAK 54 , the plane keep wanting to torque roll .

How to prevent it !

Counter the torque roll with ur aileron!

[SKYHOBBIES]

Natural torque roll is always on Left Roll without any ailerons input due to the counter action of motor's torque against the prop direction. Like what Artyspec said you need right aileron to counter it. Takes abit of practice should help. In fact torque rolling is fun once you managed it

How to prevent it !

You can try setting up a dual, counter rotating propeller system, this way there will not be any torque to mess up your precision aerobatics !

....anyway, that the direction the top guys in the world are heading.

hmmm ..... newbie is torque rolling here

Does that mean they use rotation system something like those on the Dual Rotation Lama?

that would be really cool if u setup a dual rotating power system!

Is your motor thrust angle correct?
Does it only torque roll during launching?

[mathsinstrument]

Countering with the opposite aileron is one solution, but when u want to make it look nice without the aileron poping out of the wings, what the guys at teamflyingcirkus.com do is that they lean the plane forward in headwind. This will negate the use of aileron and maintain heading and position.

My Trust line is slightly up trust to prevent failing in front

If u angle it into the wind, it would be considered a harrier....

In theory, if the plane is not moving forward, the wing and ailerons are not effective, u get troque roll from the engine/motor.

This problem also occurs during a level flight. Some trim the aurcraft by dialing in some mix or aileron trim or adding weight to the starboard wing.

To counter it during hover, u need good throttle control and lower pitch prop and maybe mix right aileron to throttle.

If all else fail, install a fan unit at the starboard wing tip, use a gyro to control the torque roll and mix it with the throttle.
