Narrative:
We were departing teb runway 24 via the ruudy 4. Shortly after take-off the tower asked why we turned left (we didn't) and what was our departure instruction. I answered the ruudy 4 and he said 'that's not the ruudy 4; turn right 280 and call departure'. I called departure and nothing more was mentioned although I was instructed to level off at 1;500 ft. I'm not sure what happened other than the crosswind from the right may have blown us toward the 260 course. We would have intercepted as part of the procedure entered into our GPS. It looked to me like we departed and were maintaining 240 heading.
