Default RE: Guessing Down thrust...

I thought your question was more an experimental one. When your plane is trimmed straight and level at half throttle, go to full throttle. If the plane pitches up very quickly, you need more downthrust, if it pitches down, you have too much downthrust. When the plane remains fairly level until the speed picks up enough to make it climb, then you've got it.
