RE: new pics
Hi Shogun,
I did not like the idea of using washers to add the 5 degrees, as they tend to sink into the firewall over time. I used a strip of 1/16 aluminum plate which I shaped to match the contour of the engine mount. I have to check it with my incidence meter to see how much right thrust it actually gave me. It should be 4-5 degrees. I think I did check my fin for an offset, but don't think it had any. I don't think that was a great idea anyway as the airplane will yaw at various airspeeds depending on what speed you would have trimmed it at. I had this same issue with my 26% H9 Edge 540 but this was not a problem as I had to build a motor box for my ZDZ 50 gas engine. It flew perfectly with 4 degrees right thrust, though the engine was swinging a 22X10 prop. I am now building a DP Edge 540 T and will be doing the new Air Wild 37% Edge 540T for Summer and will check to see what their right thrusts are. They have to have quite a bit as they are designed for gassers.
Appreciate you help.
