Default Yellow F4 Twin EDF Conversion

I test flew my Yellow F4 that I converted to twin EDF the performance was fantastic.
I'm running twin Schubeler 90MM fans that produce 6.25lbs of thrust each with tail pipe velocities of 165 mph.

I needed a slight bit of right aileron to level the wings. Is it possible that the stabilizers could be out of trim causing this slight roll condition and if so what direction would I trim them?

I have posted a link to the thread.

Default RE: F4 Expert pilot trim question

I have many flights on yellow F-4's and yes it is possible that you have the elev trim off. If you need the plane to go to the right raise the trailing edge of the right elev half. Opposite to go left.

Good luck.
