Default RE: twin engines angles

I fly zero zero on my F-82, Mosquito, and am setting up the Fiber Classics DC-3 the same way, but I do think that for a lot of people the out thrust is a good solution. After all we are flying models not people and the flying without rebuilding does add to the enjoyment.[8D]

To those that think off set thrust looks funny, it is better than the appearance of the scattered pieces
I think the extreme (4+ degrees) looks funny. Or maybe ugly is the better word. Further, I have only one airplane with any out thrust, that's my little Tiggerkitty. It has 1 1/2 degrees out on the right engine only, the left is dead away.

Out thrust works, and works very well, as Ed Moorman has demonstrated to me more than one time.

However, in thirteen plus years of "Twinsanity" I have yet to crash a twin. Possibly because my left thumb is spring loaded to the idle position. Further, I might lose one the next time out.

Out thrust or not, it's your call.
