RE: Adjust motor mount 2-3 degrees right thrust???
This is to offset the torque of the motor. Looking at the motor with the plane pointing away from you ( like you are sitting in the plane ) the prop turns to the right making the plane turn to the left. To fix this problem, mount the motor offset to the right, right thrust. Now looking down at the plane, the motor will point slightly to the right.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need further information.
