i never checked the downward thing, and i didnt measure my washers, just put 3, 1 on each of the top and left side, to give me down and right, it worked well for the canapy pitching, but seems like it could use a tad more right, i have the s 100 and a 15-6 apc prop, it takes a bit of right rudder to hold a hover, and i kinda think that prevents it from torque rolling right away too, alot of right rudder that is
