Jack,
Did 788 pull, at all, towards or away from the "loaded" side?  I have 
found that mine pulls a little away from the side with the most 
weight on the spindle.....as it should. So weight control or loading 
is very important.......never had this problem with 
airplanes......just vertical stabilizer angle of attack/incidence.........(-:
