Default RE: how to offset engine to proper degree

bc.............the right offset is to compensate for the tendency for the airplane to want to go left on take-off due to the force of the propeller. You don't want to hold left rudder or you will be in trouble..........if you are not building in the right offset, then you will have to hold in right rudder.
