RV-12is takeoff tendencies

[AK99999]

First post here…

I’ve been doing my flight training in a RV-12is (SLSA) for the last few months, close to 50 hours to date. For the life of me, I can’t figure this out, but whenever I takeoff, even with a dead in head wind, my right wing is always dipping, where as the left wants to always climb sooner.

Has anyone noticed this in their RV? Any tips to combat this?

Thanks!

I bet you are holding a little aileron without noticing it..

Its just odd, I know I am putting left aileron up, but it feels like there is always this laziness from the right side. I noticed even the right wheel is always the last to get up. There are a number of people flying the RV, and there is more noticeable wear on the right tire as compared to the left.

Hands off in level flight what happens? Heavy right wing?
