Default RE: engine choice

I was considering getting a Saito 100 for this plane because it is cheaper and lighter but then when I read the posts about siphoning occuring because of the tank level I decided on getting a YS becuase of the built in regulator. If i went with the Iron Bay regulator and the Saito 100 vs the YS 110 the YS comes out around the same price.

One question, how much right thrust are you guys adding to your engines to get straight uplines. This is the math I have worked out: for 3 degrees of right thrust a 2.7mm washer must be added to the left side, for 4 degrees a 3.55 mm washer, for 5 degrees a 4.5mm washer. Anyways, if you could let me know what angles you are using that would be great.

PS For all you Canadian modelers (like myself), Great News! The looney is at a 10 year high 77.86 cents (read this in this mornings paper), this is up more then 13 cents from last year. This will save me almost $100 on the YS 1.10 from what I would have payed last year
