Default RE: measuring for left thrust

ORIGINAL: jwalsh1

Does anyone have a way to measure whether or not I have left thrust in my engine mounting? Im assembling my first airplane. I have a Midwest Areobat, and it is getting an OS 46FX engine put in. I want to make sure that the engine placement doesnt have any left hand thrust built in, but Im having trouble devising a way to measure this.

Thanks for your help!

I certainly hope you have arranged for help to fly this airplane, or you are not going to have to worry about left thrust for more than about 10-15 seconds.
