[QUOTE=MerlinV;11721175]To my eye, 2-2.5 degrees is slap in the face obvious. If you can't see the side thrust with your naked eye, you probably don't have quite enough.

With the way the engine is wedged into my model (no "firewall" per se), there's no way to get more than the perhaps 1 degree I have now. It is just barely discernible. The main thing is that I've gotten rid of any left thrust and gotten just a tad of right thrust. That should be enough.
And yes, I know that my rigging is purely cosmetic. But I cannot stand to see WWI subjects that are lacking flying and landing wires.
Oh, absolutely. A WWI model without rigging is just a WWII model with an extra wing!!!
Are your wires actually load-bearing...at least partially. Personally, I think that's a good idea even on the BUSA/Flair. It makes the model much sturdier. (And gets modelers used to doing rigging so they move on to other scale projects.
