Default P-47 thrust line of engine

Thanks guys for your responces. I think I will divide the diference and reduce the thrust about half of what it is supose to be and maybe redrill the fire wall to set the engine off center to center the prop to the cowel. Warbirdz1 I do have some experience with warbirds just not of this size. Except for my HP200 which I have 0 thrust up or right and it flys just fine for me. And like I have always said I don't do aerobatics unless I want to take it home in a bag I just fly and enjoy it. Also on my HP200 the engine is mounted solid not a soft mount. I've read in other posting that soft mount voids some of the warrentys. Besides that my HP is about four years old and have only had one clevis work loose. But yes I do do a preflight check thats how I found the clevis loose. All hinges are doing just fine no stress cracks in the fire wall and the gear is still on her. Thanks again
