Default RE: Great Planes Super Stearman EP ARF 36

It IS small. Pretty strong we hope.
The thrust angle was in the motor box that I removed so I added some carpenter shimming at a 45º angle. It has about 2º of thrust angle in it so I am adding only about 1 degree of right and 1 degree of down. Probably not enough but I don't want to go any thicker to avoid pushing the prop too far forward and minimize the tail weight that I might need. Still undecided though. I could put a washer or 2 on the engine mount bolts to add more....
