Default RE: Forward thrust reduced by too much right thrust?

Looking at the problem strictly from a mathematic point of view, the thrust is reduced by the cosine of 6 degrees, which is about .9945. So you lose about 1/2 of one percent of the thrust. By the way, 6 degrees is a tremendouse amount of engine offset. One or two degrees is usually enough.
