It's because of the offset rudder. You can shorten the servo link at the rudder and re-trim at the Tx if it makes you happy...

Check to make sure the servo horn is at center when the rudder is centered. Maybe you aren't getting enough throw when turning left. I've never had problems because of offset rudders

Like H.E. said, most likely a servo/linkage problem. I haven't had an in-line rudder on a cat for decades, all mine are offset. They'll all turn tightly to the left, but I have plenty of servo and stiff linkages.

FE boats with a counter-clockwise prop all turn right well, not left...................

Hi,
Can you post some pictures of the setup and hardware ?
Or post any video's of it running or on the bench with servo working the rudder ?

My Mystic turn very good both ways with the offset rudder.
