Default RE: Engine Mounting

Matt,
You won't be able to really tell until you fly it and put it into a straight up climb. If it leans to right or left, it could be lateral balance or rudder. The engine torque usually counteracts the slight weight of the engine side mounted.
To check lateral balance, use a string from top of rudder and fingertip on nose of spinner and see which way the plane leans.
