RE: Phoenix Giles thrust angle
I really wanted the Sukhoi, but Tower raised their advertised price by $30 and would not honor the advertising, so I got the Giles. I decided to put a YS 53 I had. I will probably put the mount and drill another set of holes in the firewall, fills the old ones and line up the cowl again. BUt I think I will fly it first to see how it flies.

DOn't quite understand this statement. But I had to remount the mount to put the engine inverted. DOes the mount have any thrust built into it? I must confess I did not check that.
