I have a question for you regarding the multi engine power settings. I was running my Lancaster on the weekend and all engines are putting out the same RPM give or take a 100 RPM. The aircraft had some Yaw effect to the right even when it is secured to a teather. My question is, it seems that the left engines are putting out a slight bit more thrust and I was wondering about how to compensate for this? I am more concerned with reliability than exact RPM settings. I was thinking on slightly richening the left engines to give less thrust? What is you opinion regarding this? I am not to keen on leaning out the right engines as they are all running great when held vertical. I know it is hard to determine how it will act once in the air, however I want to alleviate any problems on the groung prior to my first flight. This is my first multi engine plane. and I want to ensure things are good to go on my first lift off. I am sure someone who is following this thread may shed some light on my question.

Craig.
