The Left-Yaw Budget

Four separate effects all conspire to yaw a taildragger left — and every one of them is countered by right rudder. They're strongest at high power and low speed, which is exactly when your rudder is least effective. Move the throttle, the airspeed, and the tail, and watch how much right rudder the airplane is asking for.
