I tried to figure out a way to show the down thrust used in the flights


I taped a 6mm carbon rod to the turbine case


Rod should be parallel to the thrust line


Pins were placed in the fuse on the "zero" line where the EDF fans bolt to the fuse


Pin forward of gear strut


A ruler was set on the pins and compared to the carbon rod. I planned in the build to add 2 degrees down thrust. I added 2 washers (2mm) under the rear screws and got this angle. I have no idea what it was but I planned to add another washer.
