airplane veering to the right

P-Factor is the same thing that makes helicopters need tail rotors. The torque created by the propellor (or rotor) maked the aircraft turn in the opposite direction of the propellor. Since aircraft props are mounted vertically they want to roll, and since helicopter rotors are mounted horizontally they want to yaw.

Changing the P-Factor to 0 did nothing for my Mooney. :-/ Wildie

try setting your copilots weight to the same as yours. And make sure that your fuel tanks are even. I had some problems landing my Maule yesterday because I set the fuel selector to the left tank by accident. I landed with about 2 gallons of gas in my left tank and over 20 in my right. 108lbs difference made it really hard to keep level.
