Default RE: Side Thrust Off - how to correct?

Foos, can you post a pic?
Yes, I'll get some pics up tomorrow. I called Bruce and he suggested using the play in the engine mount to straighten the thrust line along with some other suggestions. That seems to be the best choice at this point. Looking down over the firewall and onto the plans, the firewall is definently off. I thought about drilling additional holes in the current mount, but I think I'll just purchase a new mount. 8 holes instead of 4 doesn't seem like a good idea.

The plans call for 0 degree side thrust and -2 degree down trust. The downthurst is spot-on.

That or building a banana
Funny image. At least the fuselage is straight. Bruce also suggested engine mount wedges by Ernst. Any experience with these?
