Default Thrust line

rule of thumb: the thrust line is usually in line with the stab. If you draw a line from stab location on your plans forward to the nose, that should be the center of the crankshaft. Adding down thrust or right thrust changes the engine thrust in relationship to the aircraft, but does not change the horizontal thrust line.
