Default RE: how to determine thrust line for engine mounting?

Well, the thrust line should be in the center of the fuse as viewed from the top. Position it top to bottom so the prop shaft is centered in the cowl opening. Keep in mind there is probably right thrust built into the firewall so you will have to shift the engine a little to the left (pilot's left) to get the spinner backplate directly on the thrust line.
