So we just went out and flew it crooked, it wanted to pull that direction on the ground, but not enough to ruin our takeoff. The plane was amazing, the best plane yet in terms of trainers. Now after that flight we did straighten it back out, and now it taxis perfect on the ground. If the weather is bad and you have time, I would just go back and fix it, I know its a pain, but it is worth it. Hope that helps.
