Default RE: Hobbico Twinstar downthrust?


ORIGINAL: robopgenorth

I'm in the final stages of building my Twinstar and I've noticed the left engine has noticeably more downthrust than the right. The nacelles are installed properly as are the motormounts, the firewalls have different downthrust angles. Is this normal??

Mine's the same way, Rob. It's my first twin and it gets rave reviews for ease of engine-out flying, so I figured it was designed that way. I left it as is.

Good flying,
